note 63193 added to function.number-format

// the mktime shortcut is a little trickier than it would first appear, even with a mod... function text_number($n) { $mod = $n % (($n > 20)?10:20); return $n . (($mod==0)?"th":date("S",mktime(0,0,0,1,$mod,2000))); } // or for those who don't appreciate shorthand: function text_number($n) { if ($n > 20) { $mod_factor = 10; } else { $mod_factor = 20; } $mod = $n % $mod_factor; if ($mod == 0) { $txt = "th"; } else { $txt = date("S",mktime(0,0,0,1,$mod,2000)); } return $n . $txt; } /* one issue comes up in numbers that mod to zero (which mktime will associate with the 31st of December, 1999). another issue is between 23rd and 13rd, err I mean 13th. If you use 20 (or even 30) all the time, however, you'll end up with 33th (or 43th). */ ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 216.68.243.12 (proxied: 1.0 W2KISA) ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63193 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63193/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63193/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63193/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63193/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63193/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63193/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63193 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63193 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
