[thelist] inserting zero

Wed Apr 2 11:06:02 CST 2003

What data type is your field?  A while back I had a problem with MSSQL
ignoring a leading zero on a zip code (i.e. 02938 would show as 2938) and
all I had to do was change the data type from numeric to varchar.  Of course
I wasn't using the zip code for any mathematical computations either.

HTH,
Jeremy Weiss

: Sorry, I really wasn't specific enough here. I want the value of the
: variable to be "0."
:
: $hits="0"; doesn't display anything.
:
: $hits="00" displays 00.
:
: On the other hand, I get what I want, kind of, with:
:
: <?=$hits ? stripslashes($hits) : "0"; ?>
