Stupid printf tricks
This came in handy today:
$padding = 30;
$header_len = ($padding - strlen($old_header));
$message = sprintf("%s%{$header_len}s", $old_header, $new_header);
And now I have consistent spacing between $old_header and $new_header. I love when I rediscover old functionality I had forgotten.

Don't forget the somewhat more readable:
sprintf("%s%*s", $old_header, $header_len, $new_header);
Sorry. Slow day at work.
