[RESOLVED] "incrementing" a string...easy?

[menriquez]

I have trying to find an easy way in PHP to do something like this...

for ($zip="00000"; $zip<"99999"; $zip++) {
$q=build_query(0, $zip);

I was hoping that throught the magic of PHP type handling the interpreter would figure out what I was trying to do and do it, but instead the output becomes...

"00000"
1
2
etc etc...

Any ideas would be appreciated...I am hoping not the code some kludgy padding routine.

advTHANKSance,

Hey never mind...I RTFMed and came up with this...

for ($zip=0; $zip<99999; $zip++) {
$formatZip = sprintf("%05d", $zip);
$q=build_query(0, $formatZip);

Sorry...
