note 76505 added to function.str-pad

Warning: If your string includes non-ascii characters (eg the British pounds sign), str_pad() will treat these as two characters when calculating the padding. So for example: <?php str_pad($currency_symbol.$showtottopay,12," ",STR_PAD_LEFT); ?> will produce a different length string depending on whether $currency_symbol is pounds or dollars. Hope this helps someone -- it caused me a lot of problems with misaligned columns in my invoices until I worked it out. ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.3 Probable Submitter: 212.84.170.86 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-pad.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76505 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76505/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76505/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76505/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76505/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76505/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76505/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76505 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76505 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
