Bug description: str_pad will pad even if input_len + pad_str_len > pad_length
str_pad pad the input string even when the length of the pad string cannot
be evenly dived into the length of the input stirng + pad_length.
This is not necessarily a bug but the behaviour should be documented. I.e.
in some cases the user might want the string be padded only with
*full-length* pad strings, and not truncated pad strings.
The following code illustrates:
echo str_pad("1", 2, "AB");
OUPUT:
1A
The output could be viewed as "incorrect" since pad_str was aksed to pad
with "AB", not to pad with "A".
Thanks!
