PHP MySQL PDO: how to preserve leading zeros of zerofill int columns

Question

I\'ve hit one more bump in the road of migrating from the old mysql_*() functions to the new PDO class: I have a the following table:

CREATE TABLE `         


        

Answer 1

I'd write small routine to patch the PDO output to suit the requirements, and try to make the least amout of changes to the coding.

$results = pdoFix($SqlResult->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_BOTH))

function pdoFix($results) {
    foreach ($results as &$row) { // note the "&"
      $row[0] = sprintf("%'04s",$row[0]); // zerofill '0'
      $row['id'] = sprintf("%'04s",$row['id']); // zerofill 'id'
    }
    unset($row); // break the reference with the last element
    return $results;
}

Note: The other answers are just as good, pick one that you are most comfortable with.
