Folks,
Me again.
It is said that the world is divided into nurses and invalids. I'm afraid I'm an invalid--at least in PHP.
This code:
<?php
$lastUpdate = date( 'j F Y', filemtime( 'pageContent/test.txt' ) );
function cardinalNumber($test_number) { // TESTING TESTING TESTING
// function cardinalNumber($_SESSION["limit"] {
/*****************************************************************************************************
*
* INPUT: ZERO, OR ANY POSITIVE INTEGER UNDER 10,000
*
* RETURNS: ITS CORRESPONDING CARDINAL NUMBER
*
* REFERENCE: https://www.php.net/manual/en/langref.php
*
* REMARKS: Two ways to do this occur to me. The first way is to convert the input integer (or zero) to a string
* and then extract each digit, digit by digit, one at a time. Each extracted digit is then individually
* converted back to numeric form. We call this the "brute force" method.
*
* The second way takes the input integer and arithmetically determines each digit. This second way is
* more pedagogically challenging, more elegant, and oh, so much more fun.
*
* This function uses door two.
