Re: Displaying Number values

Hi, You can achieve this by using the printf or sprintf statements. <? $numberval = 1; printf("My number = %02d", $numberval); ?> This will print "01" If numberval = 20 - it will only print "20". The %02d is the key. %02 means - print 2 characters with leading zero's if there aren't 2 characters. %03 - 3 characters with leading zero's etc etc Hope I've explained that ok. Sam Phillip S.
