Inserting Zeros into MySQL...

Hi,

I have a web app running from our MySQL db.
A form pops ups & sometimes a user will have to enter seven zeros
(0000000) in the field for a specific reason.

Which datatype do I need ?
Thanks in advance

ALTER TABLE `users` ADD `phone` INT(10) UNSIGNED ZEROFILL NOT NULL

or in your case
:)
