note 1385 deleted from String functions by torben

two functions missing from this list: // Function: rpad // *********************************** // Purpose: right pad a string to a specified length, // or trim it to that length if too long // Inputs: $inStr - String to be padded // $len - length of desired out put string // $with - [optional] character(s) to use in padding // (defaults to space " ") // To Do: improper input error handling // *********************************** function rpad($inStr, $len, $with = " "){ // if inStr needs padding if (strlen($inStr) < $len) { $outStr = $inStr; // output string // make sure $inStr + $with isn't longer than $len if ((strlen($inStr) + strlen($with)) < $len) { // add $with as many times as it will fit for ($i=strlen($inStr);$i<$len;$i+=strlen($with)) { $outStr .= $with; } } // if its still not long enough if (strlen($outStr) != $len) { // tack on a enough of $with to make up the difference $outStr .= substr($with,0,($len-strlen($outStr))); } // off to the races return $outStr; } else { // shrink it down return substr($inStr,0,$len); } } // Function: lpad // *********************************** // Purpose: left pad a string to a specified length, // or trim it from the right to that length // if too long // Inputs: $inStr - String to be padded // $len - length of desired out put string // $with - [optional] character(s) to use in padding // (defaults to space " ") // To Do: improper input error handling // *********************************** function lpad($inStr, $len, $with = " ") { // if inStr needs padding if (strlen($inStr) < $len) { $rStr = $inStr; // the string to be padded $lStr = ""; // the padding // make sure $inStr + $with isn't longer than $len if ((strlen($inStr) + strlen($with)) < $len) { // add $with to the padding as many times as it will fit for ($i=strlen($inStr);$i<$len;$i+=strlen($with)) { $lStr .= $with; } } // stick the values together $outStr = $lStr . $rStr; // if its still not long enough if (strlen($outStr) != $len) { // tack on a enough of $with to the middle to make up the difference $outStr = $lStr . substr($with,0,($len-strlen($outStr))) . $rStr;<br> } // off to the races return $outStr; } // $inStr too long else { // shrink it down (chopping off the left most chars.) return substr($inStr,-$len); } }
