Answer 1

I found the function for the expected output.

 <?php
 $input = "Alien";
 echo str_pad($input, 10);                      // produces "Alien     "
 echo str_pad($input, 10, "-=", STR_PAD_LEFT);  // produces "-=-=-Alien"
 echo str_pad($input, 10, "_", STR_PAD_BOTH);   // produces "__Alien___"
 echo str_pad($input, 6 , "___");               // produces "Alien_"
 ?>
