String Stripping

[studot]

Hi,

I need to strip a leading zero from a string.

I've tried using preg_split to do it, but I can't get anywhere with it. Any ideas?

A typical string would be 07777999444.

Cheers,

$num = '07777999444';
$st = ereg_replace("^(0)", "", $num);

Cheers Chris,

So in theory, I could use:

$num = ereg_replace("^(0)", "", $num);

Or could I?
