Numbers not showing leading zero?

For some reason numbers are not showing leading zero? 34:2 instead of 34:02 and 2:4 instead of 02:04?

<?php
//More code here
$time = '12:00:01';
?>

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
$now = new DateTime();
$future_date = new DateTime($time);
$interval = $future_date->diff($now);
$count = $interval->format("%i:%s");
?>

Thanks

I have not done what you are working on, but it appears the PHP manual does not have the % signs. Admittedly, there are no really good examples in the manual.
