In some spare time I just created this function. It's prob. far from
optimal, so maybe you'll have to give a look in order to optimize
it. But at least it works.

--- PHP code ---
<?

function inttoword ($x) {
  settype ($x, "string");
  $returnString = "";

  $digit = array ("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six",
                "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve",
                "Thirteen", "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen",
                "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen");
  $tens = array ("Twenty", "Thirty", "Fourty", "Fifty", "Sixty",
                 "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety");

  $hundred = false;
  for ($pos = 0; $pos < strlen ($x); $pos++) {
    $togo = strlen($x)-$pos;
    $returnString .= " ";

    if ($togo > 2) {
      if ($togo > 3) {
        $returnString .= inttoword (substr($x, 0, $togo-3));
        $returnString .= " Thousand";
        $pos += ($togo-4);
      } else {
        if ((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1) > 0) {
          $returnString .= $digit[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1))-1];
          $returnString .= " Hundred";
          $hundred = true;
        }
      }
    } elseif ($togo == 2) {
      if ((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1) == 1) {
        if ($hundred) $returnString .= "and ";
        $returnString .= $digit[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 2))-1];
        break;
      } else {
        if ((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1) > 0) {
          if ($hundred) $returnString .= "and ";
          $hundred = false;
          $returnString .= $tens[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1))-2];
        }
        $pos++;
        $returnString .= " ";
        if ((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1)) {
          if ($hundred) $returnString .= "and ";
          $returnString .= $digit[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1))-1];
        }
        break;
      }
    } else {
      if ($hundred) $returnString .= "and ";
      $returnString .= $digit[((integer)substr($x, $pos, 1))-1];
    }
  }

  return (preg_replace ("/\s+/", " ",
          preg_replace ("/^\s+/", "", $returnString)));
}

?>
<PRE>
<?
  print inttoword(11)."\n";
  print inttoword(21)."\n";
  print inttoword(101)."\n";
  print inttoword(152)."\n";
  print inttoword(1000)."\n";
  print inttoword(101032)."\n";
  print inttoword(111111)."\n";
?>
</PRE>

--- End of PHP code ---

Let me know if this is what you're looking for and/or if you have
optimized it.

Good luck!
