Hi, RE: Restore Leading Zeros in Zip Codes Does anyone happen to have a script that will restore the leading zeros in a mixed data set of 5 digit zip codes and 10 digit zip+4 codes? Any suggestions? Thanks, Keith

<?php $len = strlen ($zip); if ($len < 5) {

    str_pad ($zip, 5, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT);

} else if ($len < 9) {

    str_pad ($zip, 9, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT);

} ?> Of course as others have mentioned, if you need to account for '-', then modify appropriately. ~Philip
