Leading zeros are not important in a binary number. Any system can detect that 00010000 == 10000. The leading zeros do not make a difference when it comes to calculating the values. [Radek Krejca] Thank you. So I have to fill missing zeros by myself. Radek
Yes, you can use printf or sprintf to do this. The manual lists ways of adding leading characters to a string (as this is what it essentially needs to be to preserve the leading zeros)

Might I suggest the str_pad() function whose entire purpose is to pad :) Cheers, Rob. -- Phone: 613-822-9060 +++ Cell: 613-600-2836 E-Mail Disclaimer: Information contained in this message and any attached documents is considered confidential and legally protected.
