Get English Ordinal Number Suffix in PHP

by Zinal // Feb 1,2013 // No comment

A post after very long time. Actually busy with work,here i am going to share one quick post about how to get English Ordinal Number Suffix in PHP.

While working I have written one function to implement English ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd) suffixes using PHP.so today I am going to explain this function to all my readers.


function getEnglishOrdinalSuffix($n) 
{ 
	if (!in_array(($n % 100),array(11,12,13)))
	{
		switch ($n % 10)
		{
        // Only Handle 1st, 2nd, 3rd from Here
        case 1:  return $n .'st';
        case 2:  return $n .'nd';
        case 3:  return $n .'rd';
      }
	}
	return $num.'th';
} 
$list = ''; 
for ($n = 1; $n < 150; $n++) { 
$list .= "$n: " . getEnglishOrdinalSuffix($n) . "\n"; 
} 
print "$list";

function getEnglishOrdinalSuffix($n)

{

if (!in_array(($n % 100),array(11,12,13)))

{

switch ($n % 10)

{

// Only Handle 1st, 2nd, 3rd from Here

case 1: return $n .'st';

case 2: return $n .'nd';

case 3: return $n .'rd';

}

return $num.'th';

}

$list = '';

for ($n = 1; $n < 150; $n++) {

$list .= "$n: " . getEnglishOrdinalSuffix($n) . "\n";

}

print "$list";

Well,i wanted to display numbers as follows


1 as 1st, 2 as 2nd and so on to 150 as 150th.

1 2	1 as 1st, 2 as 2nd and so on to 150 as 150th.

So I have written above code which uses a switch to test the numbers and add the suffix.This article may be obsolete, but still is useful for reference and You can use this script as a quick solution
