number range is relatively small... i'll just make an array, and reference it by index; $INT2STRING = array( 1=> "One", 2=>"Two", 30 = "Thirty"); Then reference it by: print ($x ."=". $INT2STRING[$x]); should work just fine. just wondering if there was an easier solution. thanx for the help though.
