[SOLVED] adding suffixes to dates

[Albatross]

Heya once again!

 

This time is's an easy one and I read it on this site just last week but shucks if I can't find it when I need it...

 

I'm trying to get the suffix to the day of the month...

 

<?php
echo date("D");
?>

 

This give me the number of the day, but not the suffix, 'th'.  Today reads 26 and I'm trying to get it to read 26th  without using code like this:

 

<?php
echo date("D");
?><sup>th</sup>

[yarnold]

<?php
echo date("dS");
?>

 

Or, if you wanted it with sup..

 

<?php
echo date("d").'<sup>'.date("S").'</sup>';
?>

[effigy]

<?php
echo date("dS");
?>

Caught it when my date showed 2627 when I used 'ds' and then Thuth when I used DS.  Deductive logic kicked in at this point!   

 

Thank you all!
