Req #62834 [NEW]: Allow str_pad() to break 'both' tie on the left
From: gphemsley at gmail dot com
Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: Unknown/Other Function
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Allow str_pad() to break 'both' tie on the left
Description:
------------
When using STR_PAD_BOTH with str_pad(), if there is a tie (i.e. an even/odd
length mismatch), the tie will be broken using the default value: adding
the string to the right.
There should be a way to force str_pad() to break the tie to left, so that
the left side has one more of the string than the right side.
Perhaps add STR_PAD_BOTH_LEFT=3 and alias STR_PAD_BOTH=2 to
STR_PAD_BOTH_RIGHT=2.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
define( 'STR_PAD_BOTH_RIGHT', STR_PAD_BOTH ); // 2
define( 'STR_PAD_BOTH_LEFT', 3 );
echo str_pad( '2', 4, ' ', STR_PAD_RIGHT ) . "\n"; // '2
'
echo str_pad( '2', 4, ' ', STR_PAD_LEFT ) . "\n"; // '
2'
echo str_pad( '2', 4, ' ', STR_PAD_BOTH ) . "\n"; // ' 2
'
echo str_pad( '2', 4, ' ', STR_PAD_BOTH_RIGHT ) . "\n"; // ' 2
'
echo str_pad( '2', 4, ' ', STR_PAD_BOTH_LEFT ) . "\n"; // ' 2
'
?>
Expected result:
----------------
2
2
2
2
2
Actual result:
--------------
2
2
2
2
Warning: str_pad(): Padding type has to be STR_PAD_LEFT, STR_PAD_RIGHT, or
