I'd try something like;
If(strlen($zipcode) <= 5) $zipcode = sprintf("%05d",$zipcode);
Else {
$zipcode = sprintf("%09d",$zipcode);
$zipcode = substr($zipcode,0,5)."-".substr(zipcode,5);
}
This isn't real elegant, but it should do the trick. You may notice that
the 10 character zip code is not 10 digits but rather 5 plus 4, or 9 digits.
