Need help with if statement

[SC__Programmer]

ok so first off im a noob at php,just started learning it lol.

 

i cant get the if statements to work right,well actually i dont know how to really use the if statements.

 

heres my code:

<?PHP
  session_start();

  if(isset($_SESSION['views'])){
     $_SESSION['views'] = $_SESSION['views']+ 1;
  }else{
     $_SESSION['views'] = 1;
  }

$number = "";

if($_SESSION['views'] < 10){
$number = "0000".$_SESSION['views'];
};

if($_SESSION['views'] < 100){
$number = "000".$_SESSION['views'];
};

if($_SESSION['views'] < 1000){
$number = "00".$_SESSION['views'];
};

if($_SESSION['views'] < 10000){
$number = "0".$_SESSION['views'];
};

if($_SESSION['views'] < 100000){
$number = $_SESSION['views'];
};

$img_number = imagecreate(100,25);
$backcolor = imagecolorallocate($img_number,255,0,0);
$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($img_number,255,255,255);

imagefill($img_number,0,0,$backcolor);

Imagestring($img_number,10,5,5,$number,$textcolor);

header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($img_number);
?>

 

it isnt displaying the 0000 before the number,just the number =\
