number format

[project3]

I have a number that I want to make sure the leading zero doesn't get striped before adding to my db.

 

020808

 

it will always be six digits.

 

thanks in advance.

Put it in a string?

That doesn't work for some reason.

try

<?php
$number = 2808;
$string = sprintf('%06d',$number);
echo $string;
?>

[project3]

try

<?php
$number = 2808;
$string = sprintf('%06d',$number);
echo $string;
?>

 

Thanks thats perfect.
