How to Get English Ordinal Number Suffix in PHP

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";

Well, I wanted to display numbers as follows

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
