note 21227 added to function.sprintf

str_pad does not always work, especially when left-padding a numeric string with zeros. I had to roll my own. I used 'trim' to _force_ the value of $value to be string, because as long as PHP thought it was numeric, I could not use any form of left-padding with zeros. This worked: sprintf("%04s",trim($value)); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21227 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21227 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21227
