[RESOLVED] Little String/Date Problem

[KingWylim]

Dear Coders,

Well I have a little $_GET["day"]; problem you see it is only doing single digit days such as if it's the 4th day of the month it will display as "4" and I need it to display as "04" now I can' modify the actual date string I thought about that but it tends to cause problems with my calendar program.

So I need a way to check the string first to see if it's a single digit number or a double digit number then if it's single digit I need to add a "0" to the begining. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all

Well, the way you describe

would work if you just wrote it in PHP instead of English, and would probably be a lot shorter - yep, 32 characters will do it.

But shorter still would be to use [man]sprintf[/man]. %02d
