Numbers_Words
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.

Unmaintained; though doconnor is tinkering.
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 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 a number of methods overriding the base class method ''toWords()'' all with different signatures.
There is low unit test coverage, of only the Spanish and Polish translators.
