A slightly more complex but much more accurate cardinal=>ordinal function (the one below
doesn't account for 11th, 12th, and 13th, which don't follow the usual rules):
<?php
function ordinal($cardinal)
{
$cardinal = (int)$cardinal;
$digit = substr($cardinal, -1, 1);
$tens = substr($cardinal, -2, 1);
if($tens == 1)
{
return $cardinal.'th';
}
switch($digit)
{
case 1:
return $cardinal.'st';
case 2:
return $cardinal.'nd';
case 3:
return $cardinal.'rd';
default:
return $cardinal.'th';
}
}
?>
