Hi,
How can we convert numeric amount into words which i need to print in Invoices?
Suppose Invoice Amount is Rs.1000 it will convert into words : Rupees One Thousand Only.
Thanks
Vishal

you will be able to write the library for conversion of numbers into words, see example:

I am a beginner and little knowledge of PHP. I don't know where to place the above code in opencart so that i am able to call this function to convert Numeric into words.
Please explain little bit more.
THanks

Interesting concept!
The script that web-project pointed out could be converted into a "tool" that can be used in OpenCart (done). However, there are limitations on how it could be used.
It couldn't be used to convert a "price", as this has already been formatted with currency symbol, decimal point (which may differ from currency to currency - some use a dot, others use a comma) and possibly a thousand separator (again, this may differ from currency to currency). It would only work on a "raw" number and, if that "raw" number was a decimal like 100.00, you would end up with "one hundred point zero zero" being displayed and not "one hundred".
Would it be possible to provide a "mock-up" of how you want it to look on the invoice?
