Hi
If it only a number in the string intval($str) should be enough to get rid
of the zero unless it is only 0

Duh. Sometimes I amaze myself at how stupid I can be.
Thanks. :)

There's no guarantee. Alphanumeric data is allowed.

Again, if the string is
I'm a newbie, but maybe this'll do it:
if ($str!='0')
{
$str = ltrim($str, '0')
}

This works excellently. Thanks. One problem that I
didn't think of, though: If the number is 0 (only 0),
then the string ends up being empty. Is there a way
around that? I put an if statement in saying if the
string is empty, then the string is 0. Any
$str = ltrim($str,'0');
would be more efficient.

How about:
$str = preg_replace("/^0+/","",$str);

If the string is completely numeric, you can do something
like this:
$string = "005847";
$string = (int)$string;
Apart from that, you'll have to run it through some sort of
regex, I suppose.
