how do I set a number as a string example let us say $a = 1; $b = 2; $c = 0; I would like to be able to $str = $c.$a.$b; to result with $str = 012; is there something that I have missed or I guess the question should be what did I miss -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
