note 48299 added to function.date

A quick function I just knocked up to create the English ordinal suffix of a day that is passed to do it. I'm sure there must be one somewhere, but I can't find it :) <?php function suffix ($day) { $suffices = array("th", "st", "nd", "rd", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th", "th"); $original_formatting = $day; if (strlen($day) == "1") { $day = "0" . $day; } $ending = $day{1}; if ($day{0} != "1") { $thesuffix = $suffices[$ending]; } else { $thesuffix = "th"; } $formatted_day = $original_formatting . $thesuffix; return $formatted_day; } ?> For example: <?php suffix(2); // Returns 2nd suffix(02); // Returns 02nd suffix(17); // Returns 17th ?> It's probably not the most efficient way possible, but it works. Hope it helps somebody :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48299 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48299&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48299&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48299&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48299&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48299&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48299&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48299&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
