strip leading zeros

[Anon]

it's early. can't remember for the life of my the function to strip leading/trailing zeros. anyone?

use the following functions to determine whether the string begins and ends with a zero --> strchr() and strrchr(), and replace it with a white space... then use the trim() function to strip all the leading and trailing white spaces 🙂 seems simple enough...

is it a string that you're working with?

$num = (int)$num;
will convert it to an int which won't have any extra 0's in front of it generally

better yet

$strSubject = " 000100";
print preg_replace("/^{\s0(.+?)\s*$/",} "\1", $strSubject);

will print '100'
