function get_suffix($number) {
$last_number = substr($number,-1); //fetch the last number
if($last_number == "0" || $last_number == 0){ $last_number = 4; } // if last number is 0 than it assign value 4
return date("S",mktime(0,0,0,1,$last_number,2009));
}
Returns suffix of any number:
1 = st
2 = nd
3 = rd
4 = th
50 = th
Example: This is the 23rd coolest snippet ever.
Return date of month with appropriate suffix
function day_of_month( ) {
$number = date( 'j' );
if ( $number[( strlen( $number ) - 1 )] == 1 ) {
$suffix = "st";
} elseif ( $number[( strlen( $number ) - 1 )] == 2 ) {
$suffix = "nd";
} elseif ( $number[( strlen( $number ) - 1 )] == 3 ) {
$suffix = "rd";
} else {
$suffix = "th";
}
return array( "number" => $number, "suffix" => $suffix );
}
I was just wondering how I’d go about using this on the post dates in wordpress?
I’ve inserted it into my functions php and got no further, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Sam
