Usage of the built-in functions sprintf and number_format before the PHP number 0 (detailed description), sprintfformat

Most of the time, we need to format the number. For example, if the number of digits is less than the first digit, we need to add 0. PHP can be easily implemented, because PHP comes with related functions.

<? Php // generate 4-digit number, less than 0 $ var = sprintf ("% 04d", 2); echo $ var; // The result is 0002 echo date ('y _ m_d ', time ()). '_'. sprintf ('D', rand (444); echo sprintf ('% 05s',); // output 5 as a string, not enough to add 0?>
