Re: str_pad

No, $line is an object (class instance) and dbranch_no is a property of the object. www.php.net/oop Jeff McKeon wrote:

Just learning PHP and figuring out all the syntax and stuff. Anyway I had a question about the code example in this post... What does the "->" do in: $dbranch = str_pad($line->dbranch_no, 6, '', STR_PAD_LEFT); Is dbranch_no a "class" I don't know about? Thanks, Jeff

so the value of $dbranch should look like "3     "

Is there anyway to right justify the 3 using str_pad .. example still put the 3 spaces in but at the beginning???

so it looks like "     3"
