<?php
// Disclaimer: This is not the most modern method of doing this.
function ordinal($num) {
$test = abs($num) % 10;
$suffix = ((abs($num) %100 < 21 && abs($num) %100 > 4) ? 'th'
: (($test < 4) ? ($test < 3) ? ($test < 2) ? ($test < 1)
? 'th' : 'st' : 'nd' : 'rd' : 'th'));
return $num.$suffix;
}
// usage
$day = 10;
echo ordinal($day); //output is 10th
