PHP/mySQL dropping zeros after inserting number into record

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've got a PHP script that inserts "00012345678" into a record in a mySQL database (it's a barcode).  Things work ok unless the number has preceding zeros, and then the zeros get cut off and all I get is "12345678".

I have the mySQL database fieldtype set to bigint(14).  If the maximum length a barcode can be is 14, is there a better fieldtype to use that will keep the zeros?

(or some way for PHP to tell mySQL not to chop off the zeros?)
