You'll need to write a function that will calculate the string for that. It needs to have a maximum amount, whatever you want that to be. Here's a function that works for numbers up to the thousands, you can expand this to add millions or billions or whatever else.

function write_num($val){  if (floor($val / 1000) > 0)  {	$temp = floor($val / 1000);	$val -= $temp * 1000;	echo write_num($temp) . "thousand ";	if ($val == 0)	  return;  }  if (floor($val / 100) > 0)  {	$temp = floor($val / 100);	$val -= $temp * 100;	echo write_num($temp) . "hundred ";	if ($val == 0)	  return;  }  if ($val > 19)  {	if (floor($val / 10) > 0)	{	  $temp = floor($val / 10);	  $val -= $temp * 10;	  switch ($temp)	  {		case 9:		  echo "ninety";		  break;		case 8:		  echo "eighty";		  break;		case 7:		  echo "seventy";		  break;		case 6:		  echo "sixty";		  break;		case 5:		  echo "fifty";		  break;		case 4:		  echo "fourty";		  break;		case 3:		  echo "thirty";		  break;		case 2:		  echo "twenty";		  break;	  }	  if ($val > 0)	  {		echo "-";		write_num($val);	  }	}  }  else  {	switch ($val)	{	  case 19:		echo "nineteen ";		break;	  case 18:		echo "eighteen ";		break;	  case 17:		echo "seventeen ";		break;	  case 16:		echo "sixteen ";		break;	  case 15:		echo "fifteen ";		break;	  case 14:		echo "fourteen ";		break;	  case 13:		echo "thirteen ";		break;	  case 12:		echo "twelve ";		break;	  case 11:		echo "eleven ";		break;	  case 10:		echo "ten ";		break;	  case 9:		echo "nine ";		break;	  case 8:		echo "eight ";		break;	  case 7:		echo "seven ";		break;	  case 6:		echo "six ";		break;	  case 5:		echo "five ";		break;	  case 4:		echo "four ";		break;	  case 3:		echo "three ";		break;	  case 2:		echo "two ";		break;	  case 1:		echo "one ";		break;	  case 0:		echo "zero ";		break;	}  }}
