Oh this was good.
I added a while loop to insert extra strings "0"
in front of the number to add
if the string is less than 5 chars short.
I forgot to mentinon that the string actually could be shorter (just found
out) and the code didn't work with fewer than 5 char strings.
But now is rocks.
Hey Børge,
If you need to left-pad with zeroes, PHP comes to the rescue:
http://php.net/str_pad
However, if you're using the regular expression
method then you might not need to pad the
number. You can change the pattern from this:
/(\d+)(\d{2})(\d{2})$/'
to this:
/(\d*)(\d{2})(\d{2})$/'
so it won't require any digits before the final two pairs.
* 0 or more quantifier
+ 1 or more quantifier
