    Can anyone help me please with functions.php

    I am using an Events plugin, and a developer kindly updated the dates for me to show 1st, 2nd … etc
    All is fine apart from 11st, 12nd, 13rd
    All other numbers – including 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 31st – show correctly

    This is the php used, is there another line I can add to correct 11st, 12nd, 13rd

    Thank you 

    // Event Date Time Format

 
				if( isset( $event['enddate_info'] ) ) {
					$event_date_time = $event['timespan_short'];
					$event_date_time = explode( ' @ ', $event_date_time );
					if( count( $event_date_time ) > 1 ) {
						
						$day = $event['enddate_info']['day'];
						$day_last_digit = substr( trim( $day ), -1 );
						switch( $day_last_digit ) {
							case '1':
								$day .= 'st';
								break;

							case '2':
								$day .= 'nd';
								break;

							case '3':
								$day .= 'rd';
								break;

							default:
								$day .= 'th';
						}
						
						$event_date_time[0] = $event['enddate_info']['weekday'] . ' ' . $day . ' ' . $event['enddate_info']['month'];
					}
					$event_date_time = implode( ' @ ', $event_date_time );
					$event['timespan_short'] = $event_date_time;
				}
			}
		}
	}

	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'ai1ec_theme_args_stream.twig', 'ls_stream_args', 10, 2 );

    Could you try this code and tell me if it will work please?

    // Event Date Time Format

 
				if( isset( $event['enddate_info'] ) ) {
					$event_date_time = $event['timespan_short'];
					$event_date_time = explode( ' @ ', $event_date_time );
					if( count( $event_date_time ) > 1 ) {
						
						// Getting the day number
						$day = $event['enddate_info']['day'];
						
						// Checking special cases first
						if (($day == '11') || ($day == '12') || ($day == '13') ){ 
						   $day .= 'th';  
						} else {
							
							$day_last_digit = substr( trim( $day ), -1 );
							switch( $day_last_digit ) {
								case '1':
									$day .= 'st';
									break;

								case '2':
									$day .= 'nd';

    Thank you so much! This worked, and now our page is showing the dates correctly! Much appreciated.
    And thank you too to the moderator for amending my post for best-practice.
