New conversion help please

[simflex]

Hello all,

 

I thought this would be pretty simple.

 

I need to convert numbers 1 to 15 to words and then write out the words.

 

e.g, 1 converted to One, 2 converted to Two, etc

 

Here is the code. I am not getting any errors; just not seeing results being displayed.

 

Thanks a lot for your assistance.

 

<?

// numbers to words function

// example: 7 -> seven

// works with 0 to 10 inclusive

//Anything below 0 or greater than 10 invites an error

function numbertowords($str){

 

$words = array(1 => "one",

                2 => "two",

                3 => "three",

                4 => "four",

                5 => "five",

                6 => "six",

                7 => "seven",

                8 => "eight",

                9 => "nine",

                10 => "ten",

                11 => "eleven",

                12 => "twelve",

                13 => "thirteen",

                14 => "fourteen",

                15 => "fiften):

                );

 

foreach($words as $key => $val){

  if(strtolower($str) == $key || $str == $val){

    return $val;

                              }

                        }

        return '';// returns nothing

  echo numbertowords($words),"<br>";

}

 

?>

You're missing a double quote in your array:

15 => "fiften):

to

15 => "fiften"

Thanks a lot for the prompt response but it didn't fix the problem.

 

I would like to be able to see the results displayed on the screen.

The closing brace } for the function definition is at the end of the code. The current call to the function is inside of the function definition.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

 

I believe I have made the change but still blank screen.

 

I am very new to this and your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Your current code produces this error -

 

Notice: Undefined variable: words in your_file.php on line 32

 

The parameter you are supplying in the function call is not set to any value, so you get nothing out.

 

You should also be developing and debugging php code on a system with error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON so that php will help you. You will save a TON of time.

Even after I defined $words and assigned a value to it, it still shows nothing, man!

because you are using short open tags,

 

replace

 

 <?   with <?php
