note 27374 added to function.date

I thought a nice and easy way to add place value to a number (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) would be to use the date function. I was wrong, it calculates some numbers incorrectly (most numbers after 31). //function place_number($p_number) //{ // return $p_number . date('S', mktime(0,0,0,1,$p_number,2000)); //} So I wrote this instead, if it's useful to anyone: function place_number($p_number) { if (strlen($p_number) > 1) $second_number = substr($p_number, strlen($p_number) - 2, 1); switch (substr($p_number, strlen($p_number) - 1)) { case 1: if ($second_number == 1) return $p_number . "th"; else return $p_number . "st"; break; case 2: if ($second_number == 1) return $p_number . "th"; else return $p_number . "nd"; break; case 3: if ($second_number == 1) return $p_number . "th"; else return $p_number . "rd"; break; case 0: case 4: case 5: case 6: case 7: case 8: case 9: return $p_number . "th"; break; } } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27374 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27374 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27374
