Sure, you could do something like:
$event_month = substr($event_row["Date"], 5, 2);
$event_day = substr($event_row["Date"], 8, 2);
$event_year = substr($event_row["Date"], 0, 4);
$msgBody = "Date: " . date("l",
mktime(0,0,0,$event_month, $event_day,
$event_year)) . ", " . date("F",
mktime(0,0,0,$event_month, $event_day, $event_year)) .
" " . fancyNumber((int) $event_day) . ", " .
$event_year . "\n";
function fancyNumber($num) {
// a better implementation should use '%'.
if ($num < 1)
return $num;
else if ($num == 1 || $num == 21 || $num == 31)
return $num . "st";
else if ($num == 2 || $num == 22)
return $num . "nd";
else if ($num == 3 || $num == 23)
return $num . "rd";
else
return $num . "th";
}
Sorry, I forgot to change my implementation to use %.
But, you would get the idea... :)
