Today Im sharing an interesting function that you can add to your wordpress blog, to render total comments in words.
All you have to do is to copy the funtion below into your functions.php file.

$nwords = array(    "zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven",

                     "eight", "nine", "ten", "eleven", "twelve", "thirteen",

                     "fourteen", "fifteen", "sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen",

                     "nineteen", "twenty", 30 => "thirty", 40 => "forty",

                     50 => "fifty", 60 => "sixty", 70 => "seventy", 80 => "eighty",

                     90 => "ninety" );

function int_to_words($x)

{

     global $nwords;

     if(!is_numeric($x))

     {

         $w = '#';

     }else if(fmod($x, 1) != 0)

     {

         $w = '#';

     }else{

         if($x < 0)

         {

             $w = 'minus ';

             $x = -$x;

         }else{

             $w = '';

         }

         if($x < 21)

         {

             $w .= $nwords[$x];

         }else if($x < 100)

         {

             $w .= $nwords[10 * floor($x/10)];

             $r = fmod($x, 10);

             if($r > 0)

             {

                 $w .= ‘-’. $nwords[$r];

             }

         } else if($x < 1000)

         {

             $w .= $nwords[floor($x/100)] .' hundred';

             $r = fmod($x, 100);

             if($r > 0)

             {

                 $w .= ‘ and ‘. int_to_words($r);

             }

         } else if($x < 1000000)

         {

             $w .= int_to_words(floor($x/1000)) .' thousand';

             $r = fmod($x, 1000);

             if($r > 0)

             {

                 $w .= ‘ ‘;

                 if($r < 100)

                 {

                     $w .= 'and ';

                 }

                 $w .= int_to_words($r);

             }

         } else {

             $w .= int_to_words(floor($x/1000000)) .' million';

             $r = fmod($x, 1000000);

             if($r > 0)

             {

                 $w .= ‘ ‘;

                 if($r < 100)

                 {

                     $word .= 'and ';

                 }

                 $w .= int_to_words($r);

             }

         }

     }

     return $w;

} 		

You need to invoke the function wherever you want to express the number in words. For instance, I have invoked the function in my comments.php file, like so..

$comment_count=get_comments_number();
$plural="";
//this part generates the word 'comments' for two comments and above, otherwise it generates the word 'comment'
if ($comment_count>1){$plural="s";}
echo int_to_words($comment_count).'comment'.$plural;
