Numeric Conversion?

[deth4uall]

I am looking for a function that allows me to convert 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 from int to str and look like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc... Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I don't think there's a native function for this, AFAIK.

 

function numSuffic($num){
    switch(substr($num,-1) ){
        case 1 : return $num.'st';
        case 2 : return $num.'nd';
        case 3 : return $num.'rd';
        default : return $num.'th';
    }
}

echo "Congratulations you finished in " . numSuffic(102) . " place.";
?>

What about 11 - 13?

[lonewolf217]

11th, 12th, 13th, etc are all taken care of by the default case

What about 11 - 13?

 

Right, sorry:

 

function numSuffic($num){
    switch(substr($num,-1) ){
        case 1 : return substr($num, -2, 1)==1 ? $num . 'th' : $num.'st';
        case 2 : return substr($num, -2, 1)==1 ? $num . 'th' : $num.'nd';
        case 3 : return substr($num, -2, 1)==1 ? $num . 'th' : $num.'rd';
        default : return $num.'th';
    }
}
for($x=1; $x{
   echo "Congratulations you finished in " . numSuffic($x) . " place.
";
}
?>
