Wondering if there is an easier way

[judeddokoinu]

I'm just looking to trim down my code a bit, if possible.

I was wondering if PHP itself had a function that does what this one that I wrote does:

[code]
function leadzero($number)
{
        if ($number < 10)
        {
                $new_number = '0' . $number;
                return $new_number;
        }
        else
        {
                return $number;
        }
}
[/code]

You might be able to do it with money_format() - But other than that, I don't think there is one.

sprintf or printf. in your case
[code] $new = sprintf("%02d",$old); [/code]

You can do many different kinds of formatting with sprintf or printf.

number_format and money_format are also useful functions to consider.
