Question

I’m doing a for loop to count from 0001 up to 0999

How can i do this with php. All i’ve got so far is a normal php for loop.

Answer 1

Something like this?

for($i = 1; $i<=999; $i++){
    echo str_pad($i, 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
}

Additionally, you can make use of sprintf() instead of str_pad(), but I think str_pad() looks much clearer than sprintf() in this case.
