Re: Add a leading zero

Take your result and use sprintf. $variable_fixed=sprintf("%06s",$variable); The above code with make $variable 6 digits long and fill all "empty" spaces with zeros. So if $variable=42, the $variable_fixed with be 000042. Specifically, for your code below, I would say put an if statement after the while, but before the echo. if ($i==0){ $i = sprintf("%02s",$i); } ?> <option value="<echo "$i"' ?>">"<? echo "$i" ?></option> <?
