You can split the number by the coma or dot. The example function was provided by Ernas M. Jamil (see below). I do not know if the splitting and concatenating numbers should be supported by Numbers_Words ... Does each language spell numbers with a 'coma'/'koma'? What do you think? function num2word($num, $fract = 0) { require_once('Numbers/Words.php'); $num = sprintf("%.".$fract."f", $num); $fnum = explode('.', $num); $ret = Numbers_Words::toWords($fnum[0],"id"); if(!$fract) return $ret; $ret .= ' koma '; // point in english $ret .= Numbers_Words::toWords($fnum[1],"id"); return $ret; } ** How to convert decimal part and not fraction part of the currency value? Rob King send me a patch that would allow to leave fraction part in digits. I.e. you can convert 31.01 into 'thirty-one pounds 01 pence': require_once('Numbers/Words.php'); require_once('Numbers/Words/lang.en_GB.php'); $obj = new Numbers_Words_en_GB; $convert_fraction = false; print $obj->toCurrencyWords('GBP', '31', '01', $convert_fraction) .
