Apply CSS to PHP Date function

This might sound weird and might be very simple but my mind just isn't thinking properly right now.

I'm displaying the date with following format using PHP Date function

date('l, F jS Y, time());

Displays: Wednesday, April 10th 2013

How do I make th somehow a superscript without trying to extract the th from the returned string and applying CSS to it?

Yes it's possible.

<?php
echo date('l F j\<\s\u\p\ \s\t\y\l\e\=\c\o\l\o\r\:\r\e\d\;\> S\<\/\s\u\p\> Y', time()); 
?>

I would prefer this over concatenation and several date() calls...

date('l, F j\<\s\u\p\>S\<\/\s\u\p\> Y', time());

you can split it into multiple parts:

$formatted = date('l, F j') . '<sup>' . date('S') . '</sup> ' . date('Y');

It's not particularly efficient, calling date so many times, but it's somewhat more reliable than a string operation.
