printf and unsecable char

Hello

I would like to print a string formatted on the right side and fill in
the left side with the unsecable character [ ]

I read in the printf command I could use : printf( "%#30s" , $mystring ) ;
to display $mystring string with the character # before (on the left)

and I try to replace # by   but I can't find a solution

Do you know the solution to write the command: printf(
"% 30s" , $mystring ) ;
or something like that !

Best regards and take care !

echo str_repeat(' ', 30);

(if I understand what you're trying to do correctly).

$mystring =3D 'Hello, world!';
echo str_replace('#', ' ', str_pad($mystring, 30, '#', STR_PAD_LEFT));
?>

outputs ...

            &nb=
sp;    Hello,
world!
