PHP Number to words converter

This library converts numbers to their word representation (123 -> one hundred twenty three).

Installation

Add package to your composer.json by running:

$ composer require kwn/number-to-words

Usage

There are two types of number-to-words transformation: number and currency. In order to use a relevant transformer for specific language create an instance of NumberToWords class and call a method that creates a new instance of the desired transformer;

Number Transformer

Create a transformer for specific language using the getNumberTransformer('lang') method:

use NumberToWords\NumberToWords;

// create the number to words "manager" class
$numberToWords = new NumberToWords();

// build a new number transformer using the RFC 3066 language identifier
$numberTransformer = $numberToWords->getNumberTransformer('en');

Transformer can be used by passing in numeric values to the toWords() method:

$numberTransformer->toWords(5120); // outputs "five thousand one hundred twenty"

It can be also used with a static method:

NumberToWords::transformNumber('en', 5120); // outputs "five thousand one hundred twenty"

Currency Transformer

Creating a currency transformer works just like a number transformer.

use NumberToWords\NumberToWords;

// create the number to words "manager" class
$numberToWords = new NumberToWords();

// build a new currency transformer using the RFC 3066 language identifier
$currencyTransformer = $numberToWords->getCurrencyTransformer('en');

Then it can be used passing in numeric values for amount and ISO 4217 currency identifier to the toWords() method:

$currencyTransformer->toWords(5099, 'USD'); // outputs "fifty dollars ninety nine cents"

It can be also used with a static method:

NumberToWords::transformCurrency('en', 5099, 'USD'); // outputs "fifty dollars ninety nine cents"

Please keep in mind, the currency transformer accepts integers as the amount to transform. It means that if you store amounts as floats (e.g. 4.99) you need to multiply them by 100 and pass the integer (499) as an argument.

Contributors

Many transformers were ported from the pear/Numbers_Words library. Some of them were created from scratch by contributors. Thank you!

Version 2.x - BC and major changes

• Dropped support for PHP <7.4.
• Added typehints for NumberTransformer and CurrencyTransformer interfaces. Now both accept integer numbers only (Albanian language might be affected).
• Added support for PSR12.

Questions and answers

Q: I found a bug. What should I do?

A: Please report an issue on GitHub. Feel free to fix it and open a pull request. I don't know most of those languages that the library supports, so your help and contribution would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Q: My language is missing. Could it be added?

A: Unfortunately, there's a high chance I don't know your language. Feel free to implement the missing transformer and open a pull request. You can take a look at the existing transformers, and follow the same pattern as other languages do.
