[SOLVED] str to int 34 -> "0034" leading zeroes

[itazev]

Hey ya!

I searched for leading zeroes php function all the way and I found that it can be done in date functions.

 

but what if I want to list a non-date query from mysql? lets say I have field CODE_NUMBER and it stores 5, 128, 96, 5879 ...

 

is there a function (?) that i can use to make them appear in the html with leading zeroes like:

0005 , 0128 , 0096 , 5879

 

thank you

printf or sprintf.

I would use the sprintf() function:

<?php
$orig = '5, 128, 96, 5879';
$tmp = array();
foreach (explode(',',$orig) as $num)
   $tmp[] = sprintf("%04d",$num);
echo implode(', ',$tmp);
?>
