// $input contains user input

function add_whitespace($input) {
    $zeros = 160 - str_len($input);
    $buf = "";

<?php
// $input contains user input

function add_whitespace($input) {
    $zeros = 160 - str_len($input);
    $buf = "";

    for ($x=1,$x<$zeros;$x++) {
      $buf = $buf . " ";
    }

    return $input . $buf;
}
?>

how with this:

<?php

 

echo "Text:<br />

    <textarea name=\"message\" maxlenght=\"160\"></textarea><br/>";

 

// $input contains user input

 

function add_whitespace($message) {

    $zeros = 160 - str_len($message);

    $buf = "";

 

    for ($x=1,$x<$zeros;$x++) {

      $buf = $buf . " ";

    }

 

    return $message . $buf;

}

 

?>
