Number to word converter (0-1 googol)

/ Published in: PHP

Takes a number (no decimal) and converts it to written words.Why'd i write it to be able to do such big numbers? Why not?

Note: The numbers next to the 'thousandfoldnums' are for your reference (thats how many zeros/places there are in that number), they have no function in the script.

I wrote this as a simple exercise to see if i could. I was reading something and a user mentioned that this was difficult. Even at my slow and limited programming capabilities i still did this in under two hours (still longer than i anticipated, but given my speed its still relatively short), pretty simple really. So here it is for anyone that needs it.
