Converting float decimal to fraction

Question

I am trying to convert calculations keyed in by users with decimal results into fractions. For e.g.; 66.6666666667 into 66 2/3. Any pointers? Thanx in advance

Converted Python code in answer from @APerson241 to PHP

 $mediant[0]) {
            if($lim < $mediant[1]) 
                return $upper;
            $lower = $mediant;
        }
        else if($v * $mediant[1] == $mediant[0]) {
            if($lim >= $mediant[1])
                return $mediant;
            if($lower[1] < $upper[1])
                return $lower;
            return $upper;
        }
        else {
            if($lim < $mediant[1])
                return $lower;
            $upper = $mediant;
        }
    }
}

// Example use:
$f = farey(66.66667, 10);
echo $f[0], '/', $f[1], "\n"; # 200/3
$f = farey(sqrt(2), 1000);
echo $f[0], '/', $f[1], "\n";  # 1393/985
$f = farey(0.43212, 2000);
echo $f[0], '/', $f[1], "\n";  # 748/1731
