Translate current number money to words – PHP

I got a big problem solving this algorithm in PHP the idea is when :

  1. a user input is < 1000 (999) the output should be nine hundred and ninety-nine millimes
  2. when the user input is > 999 the output should be **one dinnar **
    cause the dinnar is equal to 1000 millimes
    for example: if the input is 1,590 the output = one dinar and five hundred and ninety millimes
    another example if the input is 275,590 the output = two hundred and seventy-five dinars and five hundred and ninety millimes
    I write this code based on some article and I got a big error
<?php function numtowords($num){

echo numtowords(275,590);



?>

the output here is Two Hundred Seventy Five dinar/s instead of two hundred and seventy-five dinars and five hundred and ninety millimes

    When you put a comma "," in a function call it’s considered as a parameters separator, so for the function numtowords(), you’re passing two parameters not one 275 & 590:

    echo numtowords(275,590);
___________________^

    So it takes just 275 into consideration and ignores the second parameter since the function declaration is made to receive just one parameter $num.

    The call must use the dot . instead :

    echo numtowords(275.590);

    You can use the NumberFormatter class with the NumberFormatter::SPELLOUT flag. As a base:

    $input = '275,590';
$arr = explode(',',$input);

$f = new NumberFormatter("en", NumberFormatter::SPELLOUT);
echo $f->format($arr[0]).' dinar and '.$f->format($arr[1]).' millimes ';
//two hundred seventy-five dinar and five hundred ninety millimes

    I have not dealt with the case distinctions. I think that’s not the problem here.
