Here is a hack I came up with to center text. It's not perfect but it works well for
fixed-sized text.
$zone = 72; // size of zone to center in
$lsig = strlen($text_string);
$rspc = intval(($zone - $lsig) / 2);
$lspc = $zone - $lsig - $rspc;
$sstr = "%".$lspc."s%s%".$rspc."s";
sprintf($sstr," ",$text_string," ");
-or-
sprintf("%".($zone - (strlen($text_string)) - (intval(($zone - (strlen($text_string))) /
2)))."s%s%".(intval(($zone - (strlen($text_string))) / 2))."s","
",$text_string," ");
