note 89754 added to function.str-pad

Here's a quick and simple way to make an mb_str_pad function that works when you have correctly set your internal encoding. I'm not sure how well this works in all possible scenarios but atleast it worked for me using UTF-8 as internal encoding and using this function on strings containing scandinavian characters "åäöÅÄÖ" that are double byte in UTF-8. <?php function mb_str_pad($input, $pad_length, $pad_string=' ', $pad_type=STR_PAD_RIGHT) { $diff = strlen($input) - mb_strlen($input); return str_pad($input, $pad_length+$diff, $pad_string, $pad_type); } ?> ---- Server IP: 62.237.7.3 Probable Submitter: 80.220.62.122 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-pad.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89754 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89754/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89754/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89754/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89754/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89754/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89754/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89754 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89754 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
