Re: Easy Way.

Hello, Use str_pad, the manual page is available at http://www.php.net/str_pad, a short example would be: $i = 3; $i = str_pad($i, 5, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); This function is described in the PHP manual in the string functions section, the manual is an excellent place to go first when questions such as this arise.
