I'm working with a database that has a bunch of serial numbers that are prefixed with leading 0's.

So a serial number can look like 00032432 or 56332432.

Problem is with PHP I don't understand how the conversion system with octals works.

A specific example is that I'm trying to convert and compare all of these integer based numbers with strings.

Is it possible to convert an octal, such as 00234 to a string like "00234" so that I can compare it?
