Initial Code
function make_position($position) {
	$last = substr( $position, -1 );
	$seclast = substr( $position, -2, -1 );
	if( $last > 3 || $last == 0 ) $ext = 'th';
	else if( $last == 3 ) $ext = 'rd';
	else if( $last == 2 ) $ext = 'nd';
	else $ext = 'st'; 

	if( $last == 1 && $seclast == 1) $ext = 'th';
	if( $last == 2 && $seclast == 1) $ext = 'th';
	if( $last == 3 && $seclast == 1) $ext = 'th'; 

	return $position.$ext;
}

eg. make_position(2); // 2nd
eg. make_position(8); // 8th
eg. make_position(21); // 21st
eg. make_position(23); // 23rd
