PHP - Add leading zeros to number but keep maximum length

I have an Auto-Increment field in a database.

I want these numbers to be prepended by zeros, to a maximum length of seven.

Example:

Original number: 1 Desired result: 0000001

or

Original number 768 Desired result 0000768

How would I achieve this in PHP?

Use str_pad function of PHP

$input = 1;
$number = str_pad($input, 7, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);

sprintf has this build in:

$number = sprintf("%07d", $input)
