i don't remember if i wrote this or got it off this website, but here's a useful function
for adding leading zeros to a number. note that the returns result is, of course, a string.
function leading_zero($length,$number){
$length=$length-strlen($number);
for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++){
$number = "0" . $number;
}
return($number);
}
"leading_zero(3,15)" returns "015"
