I'm using a for() loop to generate random die rolls. I'd like the numbers to be formatted in a grid.

In a grid... like an HTML table? You could something like: $row = 20; $col = 5; echo '<table>'; for ($i = 1; $i < $row; $i++) { echo '<tr>'; for ($j = 1; $j < $col; $j++) { echo '<td>'.rand(1, $sides).'</td>'; } echo '</tr>'; } echo '</table>';


for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) { if (!($i % 5)) { print("<br />"); } printf("%'.10u", rand(1,$sides)); }

Currently, I'm padding with '.', but I'd like to pad with the default spaces.

For example, printf("%10u", rand(1,$sides)); Except the numbers end up like,

7 10 14 19 3
4 6 16 13 2
etc.

Why is it that when I leave out the padding character, the output isn't padded?
