[RESOLVED] Leading zero in array subscript

[Kudose]

Is there any way to force an array subscript to lead with a zero if the number is less than 10?

i.e.

$long_month_names = array ( 01 => 'January', 02 => 'February', 03 => 'March', 04 => 'April', 05 => 'May', 06 => 'June', 
                  07 => 'July', 08 => 'August', 09 => 'September', 10 => 'October', 11 => 'November', 12 => 'December' );

PHP automatically drops the leading zero in that code.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA!

Make the keys strings instead of integers.

However, have you considered using date() with say, mktime()?

Thanks for the tip laserlight.

Also, changing the subscripts to strings worked like a charm.

Just as a note, have a look at

echo 08;
