[maskme]

Dear All

I wish to print the nos as 01 02 03 not 1, 2, 3 and store it in database.
Below code will print only as 1, 2, 3

how to add the leading zero uptill 9????

    

for ($i=0; $i < count($hofas); $i++) 
     {
	  $seat1 = "A".$i
          echo $seat1;
	 }

Please help.... thankx

Use PHP's [man]str_pad[/man] function.

[leatherback]

use sprintf

from the examples:
Using sprintf to force leading leading zeros

foreach (range(1, 10) as $v) {echo "<br>tag_".sprintf("%02d",$v);}

displays
tag_01
tag_02
tag_03
.. etc
