I am using localtime() to determine the day of the month. I need to make sure the variable it returns will always be 2 digits and padded with zeros. For example currently it is like: $var = (localtime)[3]; $var would be 5. I would like $var to be 05 in that case. However if it were 13 then $var would be 13. Any suggestions or pointers? Thanks, Jeff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
