how to make $a=08 to $a=8

[raja]

For example if $a=07 or $a=08 or $a=09 what i have to do if i want to make $a=7 or $a=8 or $a=9

This will take a '0' off the front of a number. I don't know if thats exactly what you're looking for, but give it a shot.

$a = "08";
echo "<br>>> $a";
$a = ereg_replace("0([0-9]+)", "\\\\1", $a);
echo "<br>>> $a";

$b = "0842";
echo "<br>>> $b";
$b = ereg_replace("0([0-9]+)", "\\\\1", $b);
echo "<br>>> $b";

Hope this helps.

Take a look at the number_format function

for your example

$num ="08";

print number_format($num,0);
