Bug description: strval does not let me convert numbers to 'zero filled'
strings
Description:
------------
Suppose I want to build a string with fixed length (for whatever reason)
by appending a number to a string.
//I want strings like 'foo0001','foo0002','foo0010' etc
for ($i=1;$i<1000;$i++)
{
$string = 'foo'.$i;
}
strval could be useful IF it accepted a second (int) parameter to tell it:
"This number will have <int parameter> characters in string form,fill
it to the left with zeroes"
With this behaviour,this would work:
for ($i=1;$i<1000;$i++)
{
$string = 'foo'.strval($i,4);//This would give me '0001'
}
What about floats? Another parameter.
Explained by example:
for ($i=1;$i<1000;$i++)
{
$string = 'foo'.strval($i,4,3);//This would give me '0001.000'
}
For completeness:
$number = 123456789;
$string = 'bignumber: '.strval($number,5);
Will result in the string 'bignumber123456789', since I asked for less
characters than the number has.
