 if(strlen($num)>=2 && substr($num, (strlen($num)-2), 1)==1){
  $suff = "th";
 } else if(substr($num, (strlen($num)-1), 1)==1){
  $suff = "st";
 } else if(substr($num, (strlen($num)-1), 1)==2){
  $suff = "nd";
 } else if(substr($num, (strlen($num)-1), 1)==3){
  $suff = "rd";
 } else if(substr($num, (strlen($num)-1), 1)>>2 && substr($num, (strlen($num)-1), 1)<=9 || substr($num, (strlen($num)-1), 1)==0){
  $suff = "th";
 }
