I don't think it's built in, so I was wondering ya'll would recommend as the
best way to convert int to string, not basic type casting, but converting to
the english word the int represents.

Something like this:

5 = "Five" or 20 = "Twenty"

Tanner:

The following demo will work "as-is", but needs to be expanded and optimized. But, this should give you the basic framework.

<?php

$num = 123;

$a = round($num/100);
$num = $num - ($a*100);
$text = numtext($a) . " hundred, ";

$a = round($num/10);
$num = $num - ($a*10);
$text .= numtext($a) . " tens, and ";

$a = round($num/1);
$num = $num - ($a*1);
$text .= numtext($a);

echo($text);
?>


<?php
function numtext($a)
{
$b="";
switch ($a)
{
case 1;
$b = "one";
break;

case 2;
$b = "two";
break;

case 3;
$b = "three";
break;
}
return ($b);
}
?>
