Number order?

[woolyg]

Hi all,

 

If I print out

 

for($i=1; $i<=30; $i++){

echo $i."<br />";

}

 

Is there an easy way in PHP that I can format $i so that it puts 'st' , 'nd', 'rd', 'th' after it?

 

eg:

 

1st

2nd

3rd

4th

 

- All input appreciated.

if you only want 1 - 31 (days of month) use date() wirh 'jS' format

 

<?php 
for($i=1; $i<=30; $i++){

    echo date ('jS', mktime(0,0,0,1,$i)), '<br>';

}
?>

Sorry, I picked 30 as an example - these numbers could go up to any number really. I found a nice little function from reading a bit further:

 

 

function ordinalize($number) {
     if (in_array(($number % 100),range(11,13))){
         return $number.'th';
         }else{
     switch (($number % 10)) {
     case 1:return $number.'st';
     break;
     case 2:
     return $number.'nd';
     break;
     case 3:return $number.'rd';
     default:return $number.'th';
     break;
         }
     }
}

 

Thanks for your help!
