by max_length with a 0 at the beginning ie 127 to 00000127

function calcsize($numberdata) {
$max_length = 8;
if (strlen($numberdata) < $max_length) {
$actuallength = strlen($numberdata);
$difference = $max_length - $actuallength;
echo " $numberdata string is to small, <BR> length is $actuallength so diiference is $difference<br>";
for ($ii=0;$ii<$difference;$ii++) {
$w = $ii;
$w = "0";
echo "$w";
}
echo "";
