Question

Will any one please tell me how to run this class. I am getting the FATAL ERROR: Fatal error: Call to undefined function readnumber() in E:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\numberToWords\numberToWords.php on line 20 while giving input as 120

You are using the readnumber function in the class itself, try this instead where it appears $this->readnumber
