I'd like to know if there is a neat way to convert 1/2, 1/4, 5/8 into words (half, quarter, five eighths) using PHP.
I've got a product data feed, and need to create a clean URL for each product based on the name. Some have measurements like 1/4" and currently I swap out any non letter/numbers leaving me with "14" in this case. It would be more useful to convert this fraction into "quarter".

When we write the fraction in words, we use a hyphen between the cardinal number and the ordinal number. Here are some examples: We pronounce 1/3 as one-third, 1/4 as one-fourth, and 1/8 as one-eighth.
Rule: Always spell out simple fractions and use hyphens with them. Example: One-half of the pies have been eaten. Rule: A mixed fraction can be expressed in figures unless it is the first word of a sentence. Example: We expect a 5 1/2 percent wage increase.
Fractions as Words For instance, we would write “2/3” as “two thirds”: He ate two thirds of the pizza by himself! This applies for most fractions.
No, there is no neat way to do this.
