ARRAY_PAD(3)								 1							      ARRAY_PAD(3)

array_pad - Pad array to the specified length with a value

SYNOPSIS
array array_pad (array $array, int $size, mixed $value) DESCRIPTION
array_pad(3) returns a copy of the $array padded to size specified by $size with value $value. If $size is positive then the array is padded on the right, if it's negative then on the left. If the absolute value of $size is less than or equal to the length of the $array then no padding takes place. It is possible to add at most 1048576 elements at a time. PARAMETERS
o $array - Initial array of values to pad. o $size - New size of the array. o $value - Value to pad if $array is less than $size. RETURN VALUES
Returns a copy of the $array padded to size specified by $size with value $value. If $size is positive then the array is padded on the right, if it's negative then on the left. If the absolute value of $size is less than or equal to the length of the $array then no padding takes place. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_pad(3) example <?php $input = array(12, 10, 9); $result = array_pad($input, 5, 0); // result is array(12, 10, 9, 0, 0) $result = array_pad($input, -7, -1); // result is array(-1, -1, -1, -1, 12, 10, 9) $result = array_pad($input, 2, "noop"); // not padded ?> SEE ALSO
