arnoldporche Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I Have field in my table with max length (10). My data is only (5) characters. ex: "apple" I want to output "apple ". with extra (5) space. Max Length: (10) - (5 characters: apple) = 5 extra white space to be added when outputting fruit. I know can echo it as $row['fruit'] . " "; < == manually, but I want it to be automated based on the number of "max_length" from my field in my table/database.
