Hi,
RE:  Restore Leading Zeros in Zip Codes

Does anyone happen to have a script that will restore the leading  
zeros in a mixed data set of 5 digit zip codes and 10 digit zip+4  
codes?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Keith

<?php
$len = strlen ($zip);

if ($len < 5) {
    str_pad ($zip, 5, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT);
} else if ($len < 9) {
    str_pad ($zip, 9, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
?>

Of course as others have mentioned, if you need to account for '-',  
then modify appropriately.
