LAST_INSERT_ID with ZEROFILL

[WebSnozz]

I am losing the leading zeros when I get autoincrement IDs from a
column with ZEROFILL enabled. I would like to have the leading
zeros. I have tried both the php function last_insert_id as well as
running a SELECT query and using the result. I am getting the correct
id, it is just losing the leading zeros. I have doulbe checked the
table in the database, and it does have the leading zeros. Thanks for
any help.

$result = mysql_query($in sertQuery);
if($result)
{
//$uniqueFilename Result = mysql_insert_id ($link).$upload Filename;
$insertIDResult = mysql_query("SE LECT LAST_INSERT_ID( )");
if($insertIDRes ult)
{
$nrows = mysql_num_rows( $insertIDResult );
$rows = mysql_fetch_row ($insertIDResul t);
$uniqueFilename Result = $rows[0].$filename;
}
}

I wouldn't rely on that.

Just store normal integers and add the leading zeros when you really
need them, for example with sprintf() in your script

You can use str_pad() to fill it back out.

$insertIDResult = mysql_query("SE LECT LAST_INSERT_ID( )");
$insertIDResult = str_pad($insert IDResult, N, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);

Where N is the desired length of the string.
