The problem is "001" is a string of text, not a real number. Maybe use the
"strlen" function to determine the length in characters, then add to the
beginning of the string if needed.


<?php
$Count = 1;
foreach($Replace_With_List as $Replace_With)
{
++$Count;
}

if(strlen($Count) == 1)
{
$Count = '00' . $count;
}
elseif(strnlen($Count) == 2)
{
$Count = '0' . $count;
}

?>
