I've got a PHP script that inserts "00012345678" into a record in a mySQL database (it's a barcode). Things work ok unless the number has preceding zeros, and then the zeros get cut off and all I get is "12345678".
I have the mySQL database fieldtype set to bigint(14). If the maximum length a barcode can be is 14, is there a better fieldtype to use that will keep the zeros? (or some way for PHP to tell mySQL not to chop off the zeros?) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
