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" You're right - its not built in.
You could use something like this function numerictotext($numeric) { for ($i;$i < strlen($numeric);$i++) { $character = substr($numeric,$i,1); switch ($character) {
     case 0:
       $return .= 'Zero ';
       break;
     case 1:
       $return .= 'One ';
       break;
} } return $return; } Regards, Peter Hoskin Do I get a cookie?
