Sorry maybe I should elaborate

<?php

$name = "Chris";

$b = '5';       /* this is the value count of $name; */

for ($a=$b; $a<=40; $a++)
{
  add a space to the end of $name; /* this then makes $name 40 charecters long (but 
what function do I use to add on spaces?? */
}
?>

Good day all

I have a txt file that has values from various strings written to it.

What Im looking for is the following

$name = "Chris';

I need to do a count on $name so that it returns 5 letters. Then before writing it to 
the output file I
know that it has to be 40 charecters long before it gets written.

So I know its 5 now I need automatically add another 35 empty spaces to it to make it 
40 so that it makes the 
$name like this 

$name = "Chris                                        ";   <---- if I do a count on 
this it should be 40 charecters long....


Can anyone help out here???

Chris
