Haven't really tested it performance-wise vs. other methods, but I thought I'd post this anyways... Here's a nifty way to exploit date()'s built-in ordinal suffix calculator to append the proper ordinal suffix to an arbitrary number: <?php function addOrdinal($num=0){ return $num.(((strlen($num)>1)&&(substr($num,-2,1)=='1'))? 'th' : date("S",mktime(0,0,0,0,substr($num,-1),0))); } // end function addOrdinal ?> --was-- Haven't really tested it performance-wise vs. other methods, but I thought I'd post this anyways...
