Use a [man]for[/man] loop to loop through all the numbers, and [man]printf/man to format the output with the leading zeros.

hi
halojoy here

printf can do more advanced padding if you need this.

But, I use often str_pad() instead of printf,
when you have to just to pad an
integer number with ZEROS '00000' into a string.

This function I like much better, when comes to more simple padding tasks.
Easy to understand 🙂
You can STR_PAD_RIGHT (default) or with STR_PAD_LEFT,
which tells which side the padding ( e.g. '000' ) should be input.

More Info: http://docs.php.net/str_pad

Example:

number = 34
padding = 00000

with STR_PAD_RIGHT
'34000'

with STR_PAD_LEFT
'00034'
