[SOLVED] $function = printf() ?

[Moron]

How do I do this? I don't want to PRINTF() something right here and now, but I want to format it so I can use substr() on it later.

 

$endingdate = printf ("%08d", $RESULT['PSTUB5']);

 

I want to zero-fill this field to make it eight characters (if the date is 1152009, I want it to be 01152009, etc...)

Use sprintf

 

<?php
$endingdate = sprintf ("%08d", $RESULT['PSTUB5']);
?>

You're a lifesaver.

 

Thanks a ton!
