UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas "6 member" to "6th" member?

Hi all, I think this is my first post on this boards. I recently got UBB for my currently unreleased site. I wanted to merge the total registered members and the welcome new user message into one sentence. I managed to turn it into this:

"Please welcome our newest member #6, Synotic"

However, I want to make it say:

"Please welcome our 6th and newest member, Synotic" instead.

But $TotalMembers only provides "6" and I have no idea how to make "6" into "6th" and "23" into "23rd" and so on.

If anyone could make this hack for me, I would be eternally greatful.

Thanks in advance.

this is a nice idea

you (or someone on this forums) would have to write a function that would add "rd"s and "th"s based on the number sent to it. im not american so i dont really know the grammatical rules for it, but i think someone here can help you out.

The function should take the last digit.. and then..

if it is '1' append 'st'
if it is '2' append 'nd'
if it is '3' append 'rd'
if it is '4' append 'th'
if it is '5' append 'th'
if it is '6' append 'th'
if it is '7' append 'th'
if it is '8' append 'th'
if it is '9' append 'th'
if it is '0' append 'th'

edit: I only want the function to perform if the number is less than or equal to 999.
