If you want to pad strings to a certain length in a REALLY performant way then you should use a
binary OR instead.
For example:
<? $padded = "Short" | " "; ?>
This gives the same result as:
<? $padded = str_pad("Short", 10); ?>
On my machine the first version is about 250% faster and provides the exact same result.
