[QUOTE="Markshall, post: 230585, member: 1872"] Well technically you'd only have to write [php]$numformat = new NumberFormatter('en_GB', NumberFormatter::ORDINAL);[/php] once, and include it in a global PHP file and then you can just keep doing [php]$numformat->format(3433);[/php] as much as you want. I understand not every web server has the NumberFormatter class installed although it is a default PHP library, so I coded a work around version earlier as I moved a website over to a different host and it did not support NumberFormatter. [PHP]<?php function NumFormat($number) { $suffixes = array("st" => array(1), "nd" => array(2), "rd" => array(3), "th" => array(4,5,6,7,8,9,0)); if (!is_numeric($number)) return; foreach ($suffixes as $suffix=>$nums) { foreach ($nums as $num) { if ($num == (substr($number, -1))) { $number .= $suffix; break 2; } } } return $number; } echo 'You are the ' . NumFormat(23) . ' visitor to this website.'; //You are the 23rd visitor to this website. ?>[/PHP] [/QUOTE]
