My PHP is so rusty, there's probably a function built in that does this, but here's what a javascript function would look like:

function pad(number){	if(number < 10)	{		return "0" + number;	}	else	{		return number;	}}document.write(pad(5)); // writes "05"document.write(pad(12)); // writes "12"

EDIT: Hmm, this may be what you are looking for: http://www.php.net/str_pad

$input = "5";echo str_pad($input, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);

How about this:http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.round.phpround ($num, -2);Never mind, that doesn't work like I thought it would. str_pad is probably the best way.
