[Resolved] zip code stripping

[robsgaming]

I have a custom script that determines UPS shipping based on the first three digits of a zip code.

I still need a user to enter the full 5 digit zip code so saying just have them enter 3 wont work.

What I need to do is TAKE ONLY the first three digits of a zip code into a variable. That's not too hard to do, but the tricky thing is if a zip code is something like 00134.

If there are any zeros in those first 3 digits, I need to strip them.

Here are some examples of what it should looke like:

USER ENTERED: 78626
NEW VARIABLE: 786

USER ENTERED: 00265
NEW VARIABLE: 2

USER ENTERED: 01548
NEW VARIABLE: 15

Hope those examples give some ideas. Thanks for any help in advance.

$var = number_format(substr($zip,0,3));
