increment '00'+n in for loop

Question

I'm trying to make a for loop with numbers given by user ($start and $limit), but I want to be able to write '0001' as $start and '1000' as $limit and print each one of numbers. The problem is, only the first number is printed as '000..' and after increment, those zeros disappear. This is my code:

 $start = 0001;
 $limit = 1000;

 for ($i=$start; $i <= $limit; $i++) {
   echo $i.'<br>';
 }

outputs:

Is there any way to make it as:

Use [`printf('%04d')`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.printf.php). — axiac, Sep 09 '17 at 18:03

Try

  $start = 1;
  $limit = 1000;

   for ($i=$start; $i <= $limit; $i++) {
      printf("%04d<br>",$i);
   }
