Space() ? hos to as x number of spaces

[Anon]

in vb i could

vlevel = 4
str=Replace(Space(vlevel)," ","  ")

result
  *4
or
        

to add a dynamic number or a characters to a string.

any way to do this in php?

vlevel = 4
str=Replace(Space(vlevel)," ","nbspnbsp")

Hmm, I odn't know VB or ASP, but I'll give it my best shot:

$str = str_replace(" "," ",$str);

Not sure if that is exactly what you want, but I'm sure you can change it to what you want 🙂

Hmm, it didn't quite show up properly...

   $str = str_replace(" "," ",$str);

Here's to hoping it shows up properly 🙂

thanks josh.
what i want to do is

$num = 5;

$str = str_replace("$num"," ",$str);

to get the result
of 5 spaces.

5 times nbsp

or

$space = "nbsp";
echo($space*$num)

something like that.
sorry for being confusing.

Take a look at the str_repeat() function:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-repeat.php

I think that with str_replace() you should be able to find something that works.
