Getting Rid of Leading Zeros

[JSHINER]

I have something that pulls from the database "001904" - but I need those leading zeros gone when echoed, but need them there when in the database. Obviously str_replace() won't work because it will get rid of zeros in between numbers. How can I do this?

Cast the result as an integer.

look

<?php
$a = '001020.300';
echo $a + 0;
?>

If you don't want to cast it as an int you could use the ltrim function.

It would look something like this.

<?
     $newString = ltrim($yourString, "0");
?>

You can find the documentation here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ltrim.php
