Hi guys,
is there a possibility to add a string in front of a veriable like the .=
commands adds it to the end? I would like to create a 6 digit number out of
a e.g. 2 digit one. Underneath is my not working code. Maybe someone knows
how to solve that.
Thanx Andy
# create topic number 6 digit
while (strlen($myrow[topic_id]) < 6){
$leading_digits .= '0';
}
$topic_id = $leading_digits.$myrow[topic_id] ;
