Hi guys,
I am trying to force a int to be 8 digits. If it is only 3 dig filling the
first ones with 0.
Anyhow I tryed it with type casting, but it does not matter what I try, I
always get an addition.
E.g:
$member_id is: 136
should be: 00000136
Here is the code, which is still returning 136:
for($i=0;$i<count($member_id);$i++){
$length = strlen($member_id[$i]);
settype ($member_id[$i], "string");
$zero = '0';
settype ($zero, "string");
$member_id[$i] = $zero + $member_id[$i];
echo $member_id[$i];
}
Does anybody know how to solve this thing??
Thanx Andy
