Is there a function that will express any given number in words?

For example:

If a number is 1432, then this function will return "One thousand four hundred and thirty two".

Use the NumberFormatter class that are in php ;)

$f = new NumberFormatter("en", NumberFormatter::SPELLOUT);
echo $f->format(1432);

That would output "one thousand four hundred thirty-two"
