Format Text

[Anon]

I'm not exactly sure how I should be doing this so maybe someone can help. I believe i should be using printf(), but not exactly sure. Anyways, i have like a block of text that will be in the body of an email.
It will look something like this:

ID Name Comments

1 Bob whatever
2 Bill booya

(note: i dont know if this going to show up properly in the forum)

Anyways, each column should be ligned up. how exactly would i specify the length for each line, where each new column should start etc. etc.

Derek,

Here's a basic mail script:

 $to = "[e-mail]";
 $subject = "Wazzup world";
 $message = "$body";
 $extra_headers = "From: George Washington";
 mail($to, $subject, $message, $extra_headers);

---

$body should look like this:

$body = "PACO KILLS AGAIN!!!\n\n";
$body .= "If you would like to be removed from this mailing list, please send an email to [e-mail].\n\n";
$body .= "Thanks!\n";

The '\n' represents a line break.

Hope this helps

Can using tabs work?

$msg = "$id\t$name";

That should line it up on the tab marks...
