With Numbers_Words class you can convert numbers written in arabic digits to words in several languages. You can convert an integer between -infinity and infinity.
If your system does not support such long numbers you can call Numbers_Words::toWords() with just a string.

===== Overview of Code =====
Numbers_Words is a bit of an older package, aimed at PHP4. There are many different contributors to small sections of the package (each driver).

There has been a tendency to [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=15146|copy and paste much code]] when implementing a new language; because of there being so many contributors.

The code is not E_STRICT friendly, with [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=12512|a number of methods overriding the base class method ''toWords()'']] all with different signatures.

There is [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=15149|low-medium unit test coverage]], of the Spanish, Polish, French, English, German translators.
