note 55316 added to function.is-numeric

I needed a number_suffix function that takes numbers with thousand seperators (using number_format() function). Note that this doesn't properly handle decimals. Example: <?= number_suffix('1,021') ?> returns: 1,021st Also, increasing the range above the condition statements increases efficiency. That's almost 20% of the numbers between 0 and 100 that get to end early. <? function number_suffix($number) { // Validate and translate our input if ( is_numeric($number) ) { // Get the last two digits (only once) $n = $number % 100; } else { // If the last two characters are numbers if ( preg_match( '/[0-9]?[0-9]$/', $number, $matches ) ) { // Return the last one or two digits $n = array_pop($matches); } else { // Return the string, we can add a suffix to it return $number; } } // Skip the switch for as many numbers as possible. if ( $n > 3 && $n < 21 ) return $number . 'th'; // Determine the suffix for numbers ending in 1, 2 or 3, otherwise add a 'th' switch ( $n % 10 ) { case '1': return $number . 'st'; case '2': return $number . 'nd'; case '3': return $number . 'rd'; default: return $number . 'th'; } } ?> ---- Submitter IP: 64.246.30.37 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-numeric.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55316 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55316&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55316&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55316&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55316&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55316&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55316&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55316&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
