I've to append a fixed int to a variable int. $a=variable number.
$b has to be $a+002 (for example). So, for example,
$a = 1; $b=1002
$a = 2; $b=2002
$a = 58; $b=58002
I could do $b=$a.'002'
; but this will be a string, right?
I've to put $b into a mySql database in a int(11) column.
Which is the most correct and safe way to do this?
