I made this really simple function to add spaces, asteriscs or whatever combination of characters,
like " ", until the $length is reached.
I think it can be very usefull in some cases.
<?php
function number_spaces($number,$length,$orientation="left",$char=" "){
$i=0;
$difference=$length-strlen(strval($number));
if($orientation=="left"){
while($i<$difference){
$number=$char.$number;
$i++;
}
}else{
while($i<$difference){
$number=$number.$char;
$i++;
}
}
return $number;
}
?>
Examples of usage:
<?php
$numbers=array(20478,500,70516,10,5);
foreach($numbers as $number){
echo number_spaces($number,5)." <br />\n";
}
?>
Would output:
20478 <br />
500 <br />
70516 <br />
10 <br />
5 <br />
<?php
$numbers=array(20478,500,70516,10,5);
foreach($numbers as $number){
echo number_spaces($number,5,"right")." <br />\n";
}
?>
Would output:
20478 <br />
500 <br />
70516 <br />
10 <br />
5 <br />
<?php
$numbers=array(20478,500,70516,10,5);
foreach($numbers as $number){
echo number_spaces($number,5,"left","*")." <br />\n";
}
?>
Would output:
20478 <br />
**500 <br />
70516 <br />
***10 <br />
****5 <br />
Also, it does not need to be just one character, it can also be a combination of them:
"&"
Example:
<?php
$numbers=array(20478,500,70516,10,5);
foreach($numbers as $number){
echo number_spaces($number,5,"left","&")." <br />\n";
}
?>
Would output:
20478 <br />
&&500 <br />
70516 <br />
&&&10 <br />
&&&&5 <br />
Which in a browser looks like this:
20478
&&500
70516
&&&10
&&&&5
I hope it is usefull.
