Converting numbers to words in PHP

Well, debugging we are - the amount

3000000.50
is three million Swiss francs fifty rapps

Just my CHF 0.02 (that's two rapps

Well I think this is more of what we should be seeing these days. Though this article did not state if the class handles (numbers 0),
I should look it up and see for my self. and i wonder why it only handles decimals when it's currency....

Pumba

create a web app that converts numbers into words from 0(zero) to 100,000,000(one hundred million) in php.

I needed to be able to convert a percentage used in an interest rate to words. Sometimes the percentage included a decimal. Here is how I accomplished the task:

// See if "point" is located in interest rate
$pos = strpos($int_rate, '.');
if ($pos === false) {
// No Point
$wint_rate = $nw->toWords($int_rate) . " Percent";
} else {
//Point exists
$arr_int_rate = explode('.', $int_rate);
//$arr_int_rate[0] piece1
//$arr_int_rate[1] piece2
$arr_int_rate[1] = rtrim($arr_int_rate[1],'0'); // Trim off trailing 0
$wint_rate1 = $nw->toWords($arr_int_rate[0]);
$wint_rate2 = $nw->toWords($arr_int_rate[1]);
$wint_rate = $wint_rate1 . " Point " . $wint_rate2 . " Percent";
}

Clear and to the point. Good job!
