first english is not my mother language. second my question is how do i convert a 0 to D000000.

may sound silly but what is the significance of this format? I have just googled it and found nothing useful.

 

if there is some mathematical conversion going on then knowing so would help other wise it appears you simply want to take your number - put a 'D' in front of it and then pad some 0's after it to make it a 7 char string.

 

which would be

 

<?php
$id = 1;
$id = 'D' . $id;
str_pad($id, 7 , "0");
?>

 

that woudl convert '1' to D100000
