Hey all, Am I brain fading or what? I'm so used to formatting text in tables for HTML display I can't think of how to do it for a plain text file. I just need to create a columned table of names and addresses type stuff... sprintf?
or a little str_pad on each variable...
Sure, that will do it. But isn't there some way to construct formatted tables similar to HTML?
You can use a combination of wordwrap(), str_pad(), and swathe of judicious (but simplistic) math :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP
