Are you looking for the sprintf() function?

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.
