This seems an endless loop for me. You do not alter the $myrowp[topic_id] so its
length is untouched => if it is <6 you will never
get away from the loop. May be you want this.
# create topic number 6 digit
$count=strlen($myrow[topic_id]) ;
while ($count-- < 6){
$leading_digits .= '0';
}
$topic_id = $leading_digits.$myrow[topic_id] ;
