text formatiing

[alifyag]

hello,
i have a column in my database which stores values like
00010
0001A M

i want to send this information to a text file and it should look like the following:
10
1AM

i do not know how to remove zeros in the front of a number. also how do i remove the blank spaces between the letters.
please do let me know

[gid]

$t = '000010';
$t = intval($t);
echo $t;

intval() is in php >= 4.2, earlier versions, it's available as a compile option I believe.

thats was very help..however it even strips of the alphabates and thats not what i wanted. however i found another way incase someone is interested.
$values[]="00010";
$values[]="0001A M";

$values = preg_replace("/(0)(.)/s","$2",$values);
$values = str_replace(' ', '',$values);
