note 51089 added to function.is-numeric

Regarding renimar at yahoo's function to yield ordinal numbers, the function lacks one thing. It accounts for numbers in the teens only if the number is below 100. If you used this function and gave 212 as the input, it would give 212nd, and not 212th. (Also, checking for numbers between 11 and 13 is sufficient, since 14-19 yield th either way.) Therefore, <?php if ($num >= 11 and $num <= 19) ?> should be changed to... <?php if ($num % 100>= 11 and $num % 100 <= 13) ?> It will then work perfectly all the time. Here's the entire function with the one line changed: <?php function ordinalize($num) { if (!is_numeric($num)) return $num; if ($num % 100 >= 11 and $num % 100 <= 13) return $num."th"; elseif ( $num % 10 == 1 ) return $num."st"; elseif ( $num % 10 == 2 ) return $num."nd"; elseif ( $num % 10 == 3 ) return $num."rd"; else // $num % 10 == 0, 4-9 return $num."th"; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-numeric.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51089 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51089&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51089&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51089&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51089&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51089&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51089&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
