How can PHP developers ensure that the visual representation of data remains consistent when interacting with databases that use ZEROFILL integers?

When interacting with databases that use ZEROFILL integers, PHP developers can ensure that the visual representation of data remains consistent by using the str_pad() function to add leading zeros to the integer values before displaying them. 

// Assuming $value is the ZEROFILL integer value retrieved from the database
$zerofillValue = str_pad($value, $zerofillLength, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
echo $zerofillValue;
