I just reread your question. Yes, in an Excel cell you can put a single
quote in front of something and it is then treated as text, but I don't know
if that works in a CSV file.

Sorry for any confusion.

You have to make sure the zip code data is imported to Excel as text. By
default Excel will treat is as a number and will therefore drop any leading
zeroes.

Hope this helps ...

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Zip Code field in Excel

Hello Everyone,

I wrote an application in PHP to export all of the data into a CSV document
so my client can view the data.  Everything works great except the Zip Code
fields.  For the zip codes that start with a zero, the zero is removed.  

I know this is done by Excel because it is treating the contents of the cell
as a number.  

Is there any way to tell excel to treat the content of the cell as text
automatically?

Thank you in advance for your insights.

Sincerely,
Nelly Yusupova
