converting 1 to 1st, 2 to 2nd, 3 to 3rd.

I need help..

Is there a function in PHP or Postgresql that converts cardinal numbers (1,2,3, etc) to ordinal numbers in the form 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on...?

thanks a lot in advance...

i belive a capitol "S" is the code for the date.

so if your date was in a unixtime format in a variable called $somedate, then you could do this:

<?
echo date("F dS",$somedate);
?>

F is the month spelt out
d is the number of the day
and S is what you are looking for. the suffix for the appropriate number.

Well, actually, my hunch is you are NOT working with dates. I could be wrong.

I found some code that "almost" works, at this location (when you get there, scroll about a 3rd [no pun intended] of the way down)

However, I noticed that the function works fine.... until you get above 100. 111 turns into 111st.......112 turns into 112nd

But you can fiddle with the code to fix that...
