There are a lot of way to remove 0 from the first part of a string.
If it contains only number, then cast it to integer

$var = (int)$var;

You can use left trim as follow :

$var = ltrim($var, '0');

Just use + inside variables:

echo +$var;

Multiple it by 1 :

$var = "0000000000010";
print $var*1; // prints 10

Note : If your string contains without number, then only use ltrim

$trimmed_phone = ltrim($input, "0");

ltrim will trim all the leading character from a string, no other characters will be removed.
