Sorry, very basic

I have had this issue before but have forgot the fix and will hit my head once im reminded..

 

I have this string

 

// $an_result currently = 00001297
$an = $an_result + 1;
// which outputs 1298

 

What i need is all if any zero's before the number to stay. the number before the +1 could have up to 7 zero's in front or as little as 1 or none

 

Thanks

If your string had a hypen after the 0's.

eg: 0000-1297

You could use explode.. but it doesn't.. I've had a quick search a google, and couldn't find anything.

printf('%08d', $an_result + 1);

Thank you all for your input.

 

Thinking about it more the quick fix i was thinking was a JS function haha

 

Didn't see DanielO till just now but my fix was

 

		$anl = strlen($an_result);
		$an_result++;
		$an = str_pad($an_result, $anl, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);

 

Thank you PFMaBiSmAd
