numbers to letters

[M.O.S. Studios]

I want to  be able to convert numbers to their letter equivalent. However I need it to go past 26 values.

 

here is the code

    function letters($value){
        if(!is_integer($value) && $value > 0){return false;}
        if($value < 26){return base_convert($value+10, 10, 36);}else{
            $tester = $value / 25;
            $tester = explode('.', $tester);
            return base_convert($tester[0]+9, 10, 36).letters($value*($tester[0]) - 26);
        }
    }

    echo $welcome."\n".$questions;
        for($i=0; $i<= 200; $i++){
        echo letters($i).$i."<br>";
    }

 

the problem happens after value 49.

 

 

any ideas?

The quick view list two problems

 

1.$tester = $value / 25; to $tester = $value / 26; 

 

This will resolve your problem after value 40

 

secondly, you are calling recursively function letters() and in your function letters() there is not exit condition hence when the value reaches to 52.... it  recursively call letter() function and results in different character string. You need to control the execution of letter() function on some condition.

 

Thanks.,
