$i = 15;
while (strlen($i) < 3)
   $i = 0 . $i;

Can put it in a function or use a recursive function:

function inc_length ($num,$length) {
// $num is the number and $lenght is wanted length
   if (strlen($num) >= $length) 
   {
     return $num;
   } 
   else 
   {
     return inc_length (0 . $num , $length);
   }
}

echo inc_length(23,5); will echo "00023"
