I need to be able to format data.
 
Printf() is perfect because I need a certain amount of characters (30
for address). 
 
However I need this formatted data to be inside a file that's fwrite()
and then FTPed to a distributor who will parse it and input into their
database.
 
 
printf("% 4d",$orderID[0]); does not work in
 
$thisContent="
 
"data" .
"moredate" .
"evenmoredata" .
 
";
 
 
In effect I need the output of printf() to be placed inside a variable
and I don't see how to do that. Str_pad(), of course, does not work. 
 
Thx for any hints.
