A simple example for array_pad()
the syntax is as follows: array_pad(array(), (+/-)int, value)
where "array" is the array to which the value is to be added,
"(+/-) int" is a value that decides the length of the array(it should be greater than the length of the array.
if its a negative number then the value will be added at the left of the array else it will be added to the right.
"values" denotes the value to be added to the array
lets try an example:
<?php
$digits = array();
$digits[0] = 1;
$digits[1] = 2;
$digits[2] = 3;
$arraypad = array_pad($digits, -4, "0");
print_r($arraypad);
?>
output:
Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 1 [2] => 2 [3] => 3 )
