[RESOLVED] How to return integer as its text version (1 = 1st)

Hello

I need help. I cant figure out how to write a function to return a integer between 1 and whatever and return it as text like below.

1 returns 1st
3 returns 3rd
28 returns 28th

any help would be great, thank you

Have a go atadapting this function which I found here, unless of course you only need numbers less than 100. Also, if you need this for a date then you can have it added on automatically using the date() function:

<?php
function nthnum ($age,$small=0) { // proper ending for numbers, ie 2nd, 3rd, 8th
    $last_char_age = substr("$age", -1);
    switch($last_char_age) {
        case '1' :
            $th = 'st';
            break;
        case '2' :
            $th = 'nd';
            break;
        case '3' :
            $th = 'rd';
            break;
        default :
            $th = 'th';
            break;
        }
    if ($age > 10 && $age < 20) $th = 'th';
    if (0 == $small) $niceage = $age.$th;
    if (1 == $small) $niceage = $age."<sup>$th</sup>";
    return $niceage;
    }
?>
