Format string of numbers...

[Anon]

Hi,

I was wondering if PHP has a function that will format a string of numbers so that the result is of a specified length with leading zeros as needed.

For instance, an input of "12345" would result in "00012345".

If there isn't a function to do this I'll just check the length and add the zeros manually.

Thanks.

Search the forum next time:

$sNumber=1;
printf("%04s",$sNumber);

will add leading zeros untill the result is 4 characters long.
