Subject: [PHP] grief with printf(), padding and alignment of text
> I'm running PHP 4.2.2 and I'm having trouble with the printf()
> function. I want to be able to print data in space padded fields with
> the alpha strings left justified and the numeric strings right
> justified. For some reason I can't get printf() to pad with spaces. It
> pads with " "-s and right aligns the data
>
> For example this code: printf("%' -20s %' 20s %' -20s<br>\n",$algen,
> $calc_amt, $range);
>
> returns this output: Algae 292 very high
> which shows no padding.

replacing the spaces with the entity
