printf() / sprintf() is your friend.
Chris
Yeah, but what if they don't JUST want to print it...
/*untested*/
$i=524;
$n=5-strlen($i);
$outnum=;
for($x=1;$x=$n;$x++){
$outnum.=0;
};
$outnum.=$i;

Umm, have you read the documentation on either of
the functions? They both return a string; they don't
send anything to standard out (like echo or print does).
$myString = printf();
$myString = sprintf();
echo $myString;
Chris
(there
are good examples about formatting in sprintf()'s documentation).
