Casting removes leading zeros

Can anyone tell me why when I say the line with the message 00332 I only go back? It removes leading zeros and keeps the data in the same format.

thanks

this->_gate   = (string) $this->_linkID->QuoteSmart($gate);

I would say because the leading zeros have no meaning when passed to an integer.

Maybe you should leave it as a string if you want those leading zeros, and only cast (int)

for whatever math you need to do (although you can just use a string too, PHP will figure it out)

After looking at the example, I want to echo the value before you scribble on the line (so I can confirm that something fishy isn't happening to you with the QuoteSmart method (or your send value as a parameter, $ gate)

Don't cast strings to strings or any type to the same type. Typing is changing something from one type to another.

$ php -r 'var_dump((string)"00123");'
string(5) "00123"

It looks like the cast isn't your problem.

What are you referring and why? Check out the code. If you drop an integer, yes, integers don't have leading zeros, so they disappear. Not surprising.

OK, that's why it was dropping leading zeros. It was not cast and does not add. What I did was quote the variable (which quotes are supposed to do anyway, but not for some reason). When I cast this variable, I saved the value correctly. If I'm not wrong, quotesmart will only work with strings, not ints.
