You can format numbers using the sprintf function. See PHP:Format Printing for details of some other options that are available.

You can build a string using sprintf. The %8d place holder will ensure that the number takes exactly 8 spaces.

The output with "Number:%8d" prints a decimal in 8 spaces:

Number:   12345

.

<? $x = 12345; $s = sprintf("The number:%8d!",$x); echo $s; ?>
