I have the next code:


<select name="Ehour" id="Ehour" tabindex="3">

<?php
for($n=0; $n <=24; $n++)
{
?>
<option value="<? echo $n ?>"><? echo $n ?></option>
<?
}
?>

</select>

I want this drop-dow show leading zeros for hours. Do you know how to do it??Use the str_pad (http://uk.php.net/str_pad) function. For example:



str_pad($n, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT)

Please don't post such wildly-formatted code. Edit it so that, at the very least, it's not necessary for readers to scroll horizontally just to read it all.

In this code:


<option value="<? echo str_pad($n, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); ?>"><? echo str_pad($n, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); ?></option>

appears 00 but doesn&#180;t insert the same to a mysql DB (only 0)

Can you help me?

It's probably being converted to an integer at some point during the server-side processing. We'd need to see that.

The field is integer. Must be a string?

[Twey]

Yes, any conversion to a number type will strip all leading zeroes (and trailing zeroes after the decimal point).

Thank's a lot for everything. You are very cool!!!!!
