In response to the function supplied by "fackelkind honorsociety de" for calculating the
day suffix.
While your code is short and sweet, it doesn't actually produce the correct results. Passing 13
to the function should return "th" and not "rd". The following functions should
work...
<?php
// For those of you who don't detest the Switch statement
function getDaySuffix($dayOfTheMonth) {
switch ($dayOfTheMonth) {
case 1: return "st";
case 2: return "nd";
case 3: return "rd";
case 21: return "st";
case 22: return "nd";
case 23: return "rd";
case 31: return "st";
default: return "th";
}
}
// Another version for those of you who detest the Switch statement
function getDaySuffix($dayOfTheMonth) {
$suffix = array(
1 => "st",
2 => "nd",
3 => "rd",
21 => "st",
22 => "nd",
23 => "rd",
31 => "st");
return isset($suffix[$dayOfTheMonth]) ? $suffix[$dayOfTheMonth] : "th";
}
?>
