Oh this was good. I added a while loop to insert extra strings "0" in front of the number to add if the string is less than 5 chars short.
sprintf is your friend here, no need to use a loop. sprintf('%05d', '1234');
No need to use a sledgehammer when a screwdriver will suffice: <?php
    echo str_pad( '1234', 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT )
?>

I knew there was another way ;) Thanks for the reminder.. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
