ScriptCase does not have a library to do this. But I found this code from [B]Hugh Bothwell /B that can spell numbers up to nonillions:

// Number-to-word converter

$ones = array
(
   "",
   " one",
   " two",
   " three",
   " four",
   " five",
   " six",
   " seven",
   " eight",
   " nine",
   " ten",
   " eleven",
   " twelve",
   " thirteen",
   " fourteen",
   " fifteen",
   " sixteen",
   " seventeen",
   " eighteen",
   " nineteen"
);

$tens = array
(
   "",
   "",
   " twenty",
   " thirty",
   " forty",
   " fifty",
   " sixty",
   " seventy",
   " eighty",
   " ninety"
);

$triplets = array
(
   "",
   " thousand",
   " million",
   " billion",
   " trillion",
   " quadrillion",
   " quintillion",
   " sextillion",
   " septillion",
   " octillion",
   " nonillion"
);

// recursive fn, converts three digits per pass
function convertTri($num, $tri) 
{
   global $ones, $tens, $triplets;

// chunk the number, ...rxyy
   $r = (int) ($num / 1000);
   $x = ($num / 100) % 10;
   $y = $num % 100;

// init the output string
   $str = "";

// do hundreds
   if ($x > 0)
      $str = $ones[$x] . " hundred";

// do ones and tens
   if ($y < 20)
      $str .= $ones[$y];
   else
      $str .= $tens[(int) ($y / 10)] . $ones[$y % 10];

// add triplet modifier only if there
// is some output to be modified...
   if ($str != "")
      $str .= $triplets[$tri];

// continue recursing?
   if ($r > 0)
      return convertTri($r, $tri+1).$str;
   else
      return $str;
}

// returns the number as an anglicized string
function convertNum($num) 
{
   $num = (int) $num; // make sure it's an integer

   if ($num < 0)
      return "negative".convertTri(-$num, 0);

   if ($num == 0)
      return "zero";

   return convertTri($num, 0);
}

Thank You Henriqueb.

how to apply it in the report pdf

#5

Import the code on an internal library for example, and use the function convertNum(). Then, print on screeen the value converted

#6

Can anyone please help me on how to implement this on a pdf report in SC8. I imported the code on an internal library, called the it in my application and I am stuck. I have tried to use the function convertNum() in an OnRecord event but to no avail. Please help I have been struggling with this for weeks. thank you

#7

I have found a way out. Thank alot.

#8

Just so you guys know… there is a way in php already to spell out a number into letters


<?php
$f = new NumberFormatter("en", NumberFormatter::SPELLOUT);
echo $f->format(123456);

?>

So there’s no need to create addditional functions.

ROFL, I was studying hundreds of lines of code to understand how actually it is happening. Thanks for this time-saving technique man.

It simply works for me.

Hello Zubair:

Glad you found it helpful. Keep on styding anyways that’s never a waste.
