I think that is the problem, as noted earlier validates_length_of does not really make much sense for an integer. How many digits in 0123 for example? It has four digits but will be stored in the db as 123 so will no longer have four digits when you read it back. Use validates_numericality_of, specifying a range, to check it is an integer in the required range. Whether integer is the right field type for zipcode is another matter. If you needed to go international you would find that often they are not numbers.
