I have a for loop that looks like :
for ( $i=00001; $i < 55555; $i++) {
echo $i;
}
I get the following output
1 2 3 4 5 etc.
What I want is :
00001 00002 00003 00004 .... 55555
How can I retain the significant digits ?

Numbers don't have leading zeroes, only their human presentation: use `echo sprint('%05d', $i);` to display – Mark Baker Apr 21 '15 at 20:47

got it thanks. Here is what I was looking for $formatted_value = sprintf("%05d", $i); – Joel Parker Apr 21 '15 at 21:02
