Seems to me like it would just drop the zeros on the left by default. Are you including the \t in the string by accident? If so, that may be hosing it. Otherwise, have you tried ltrim on it? Ex: $_castableString = ltrim($_yourString, '0'); // Now cast -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
