PHP: Convert number & currency to text in asian i.e. Bangladeshi, Indian format

January28

Hello Guys,

I am from Bangladesh and our currency system is somewhat different. We use lac/lakh, crore etc. So, today I had to convert number to word in a project. When I was searching the web, I did not found anything that meets my requirement 100%. So I wrote one. Although my code does not support more than 999 crore taka / rupee, I think this will suffice most of the projects requirements.

To be frank I used several pieces of beautiful code from internet.

Well. Enough talks. Let me show the code.

CODE:

================================================

<?php

	error_reporting(E_ALL);
	//error_reporting(0);


	class Currency
	{

		function __construct()
		{
			//do nothing for now

		}

		// http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10350901

		function get_bd_money_format($amount)
		{
			$output_string = '';
			$fraction = '';
			$tokens = explode('.', $amount);
			$number = $tokens[0];
			if(count($tokens) > 1)
			{
				$fraction = (double)('0.' . $tokens[1]);
				$fraction = $fraction * 100;
				$fraction = round($fraction, 0);
				$fraction = '.' . $fraction;
			}

			$number = $number . '';
			$spl=str_split($number);
			$lpcount=count($spl);
			$rem=$lpcount-3;
			//echo "rem".$rem."<br/>";

			//even one

			if($lpcount%2==0)
			{
				for($i=0;$i<=$lpcount-1;$i++)
				{

					if($i%2!=0 && $i!=0 && $i!=$lpcount-1)
					{
						$output_string .= ",";
					}
					$output_string .= $spl[$i];
				}
			}
			//odd one

			if($lpcount%2!=0)
			{
				for($i=0;$i<=$lpcount-1;$i++)
				{
					if($i%2==0 && $i!=0 && $i!=$lpcount-1)
					{
						$output_string .= ",";
					}
					$output_string .= $spl[$i];
				}
			}
			return $output_string . $fraction;
		}

		function translate_to_words($number)
		{

cam the same script be used for other currencies?

@ Fleix

well. the indian or more generally the asian currency format is somewhat different than the western countries. as i do not know your currency format, i cannot give you specific answer. for western currencies, you know PHP’s built-in number_format() is enough to take care of the issue.

this is the line:

if($i%2!=0 && $i!=0 && $i!=$lpcount-1)

i have found another solution for the same purpose. but i will feel happy if you guide me about the error.
