Nodral Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi all Been trying to get my head around formatting a string, and struggling. I have a serious of numbers held in a DB and I need these to display as 5 figure numbers. if the DB held the record "48" I would need this to be displayed as "00048". Can anyone give me a clue. I've tried reading the php manual but this just confuses me more. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/252838-string-formatting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
