note 20242 added to function.str-pad

I was experiencing some trouble when I needed zeros padded to the left. The string kept being parsed as being a number and thus the zeros got removed. I don't know why but the only solution that worked for me was that of matthew.somerville@trinity.oxford.ac.uk $mystr = substr("0000$mystr",-4) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-pad.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20242 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20242 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20242
