For some reason that totally eludes me, <? $input = "test"; str_pad($input, 10); echo $input; ?> doesn't work (the $input string echo's perfectly, but isn't padded) but, <? $input = "test"; $output = str_pad($input, 10); echo $output; ?> does work. I use php version 4.1.2 and I can't see why this piece of code, which came natural, and seems pretty normal to me, doesn't work.
