replace 0 in front of other number

[helenp]

Hi I am trying to take away the 0 before the dates.

Is there a way to put a sign in for any number?
not to have 9 diferents str_replaces

$arrival_display = str_replace("01-", "1-", $arrival_display);
$arrival_display = str_replace("02-", "2-", $arrival_display);
and so on until 9

There are parameters that do that for you.

[php.net...]

j - Day of the month without leading zeros

n - Numeric representation of a month, without leading zeros

i - Minutes with leading zeros

etc etc

ltrim [uk2.php.net], will remove all the 0's before another character.
$arrival_display = ltrim($arrival_display, "0");

Yes I know,
but donīt know if can be used in this case,
it is not question of an local date or any calculated date,
it is an date from an form,
so I have the var $arrival_display = $day .'-'. $monthyear[1] .'-'. $monthyear[0];
I could always put 9 str_replaces in of course.

If you are only going from 01 - 09 you only need to replace the 0 in one str_replace

$arrival_display = str_replace("0", "", $arrival_display);

Maccas,
that works perfect, expect that it only take away the first 0 and leave me with a date like this;
1-02-2006

$arrival_display = str_replace("0", "", $arrival_display); [/quote]
No, that takes away the cero in the year,
the date format displayed by the form is:
01-02-2006
and I want to take away the cero in day and month before any other number

[niels]

$day = ltrim($day, "0");
$monthyear1 = ltrim($monthyear[1], "0");

$arrival_display = $day .'-'. $monthyear1 .'-'. $monthyear[0];
