PHP Arrays and Leading Zeros

[sebconn]

Hi all

I'm making a basic number array from 1 to 31 for a form with a date input.

Because I'll be entering the data from that form into a mysql database with a date field, I need leading zeros. How do I set up my array so that the numbers have leading zeros?

Here's My basic code

	  	<?php
	for($d = 1;$d<32; $d++)

{
	echo "<option value=\"$d\">$d</option>\n";
}
?>

you actually don't need to zero pad the form fields, just take the input and you can easily create a mySQL date using [man]strtotime[/man] and [man]date[/man].

Also, you may want to look into the [man]strtotime[/man] and [man]date[/man] functinos to actually generate the list in the first place. Your way of doing it would produce 31 days for September (presumably) and thus could produce and invalid date.
