$trimmed_phone = ltrim($input, "0");
ltrim will trim all the leading character from a string, no other characters will be removed.
There are a lot of way to remove 0 from the first part of a string.
If it contains only number, then cast it to integer
$var = (int)$var;
You can use left trim as follow :
$var = ltrim($var, '0');
Just use + inside variables:
echo +$var;
Multiple it by 1 :
$var = "0000000000010";
print $var*1; // prints 10
Note : If your string contains without number, then only use ltrim
