1'st' 2'nd 3'rd' etc

I've searched PHP and it's more than likely a simple solution I just can't find. How do I turn a variable of 1 to 1st, 2 to 2nd etc...

Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:

You can use the date() function with the "S" format parameter for 1-31. Beyond that you would need to create your own function.

switch(day) {
1: 21: 31: day.='st'; break;
2: 22: day.='nd'; break;
3: 23: day.='rd'; break;
default: day.='th';
}

Both those assume it's a date, here's one that doesn't:
function nth($in)
{
if(strlen($in)>1 && substr($in,-2,1)==1)
return $in."th";
switch(substr($in,-1,1))
{
case 1:
return $in."st";
case 2:
return $in."nd";
case 3:
return $in."rd";
default:
return $in."th";
}
}
