convert 01, 02, 03, 04 .. 09 to 1,2,3,4 ... 9

int, php

Solution

I assume the input is a string?

$str = "01";
$anInt = intval($str);

You may think that the leading 0 would mean this is interpreted as octal, as in many other languages/APIs. However the second argument to intval is a base. The default value for this is 10. This means 09->9. See the first comment at the intval page, which states that the base deduction you might expect only happens if you pass 0 in as the base.

Problem

Hay how can I convert ``` 01 to 1 02 to 2 ``` all the way to 9? Thanks
