I need help

[azab20007]

I have data in table like this

name

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee................

eeeeeeeeeeeeee..........................

eeeeeeeeeee.............................

 

using this function

 

str_pad($row_Recordset1['name'], 40 ,".",1) ;

 

to  unify end all rows

 

But i can't get it

 

is there any solution to this problem

----------------------------------------------

I hope that there's anyone can understand me

I think you want....

 

<? echo substr($row_Recordset1['name'],0) . '...'; ?>

 

or similar.

You are using the function correctly. str_pad will return the padded version of $row_Recordset1['name']. But you need to post the rest of your script if you want help determining the problem.

 

Note: If you post code, please put it in code tags by using the # button on the toolbar

those all have different lengths. if you want them to line up perfectly, you need to use a font where every character has the same width like Courier New
