Question

I am just a beginner in php. I am trying to print the array of months using the following code.

<?php
$totalmonth=12;
for($startmonth=01; $startmonth<=$totalmonth; $startmonth++)
{
    $montharr[]=$startmonth;
}
print_r($montharr);
?>

My result is Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 [4] => 5 [5] => 6 [6] => 7 [7] => 8 [8] => 9 [9] => 10 [10] => 11 [11] => 12 )

I need my result should look like this

[0] => 01 [1] => 02

How can i do that?

Use str_pad.

<?php
$totalmonth=12;
for($startmonth=1; $startmonth<=$totalmonth; $startmonth++)
{
    $montharr[]=str_pad($startmonth, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
print_r($montharr);
?>
