Neet to make text variables a specific length (fixed-width) 1

[AbeMeister]

Is there a function in PHP that will take a variable and add space after it to make it a specific length. In other words:

$example1 = "cow";
$example2 = "google";
echo "$example1$example2!!";

Output:
cowgoogle!!

Where as I would like to:

$example1 = fake_string_length_function($example1, 10);
$example2 = fake_string_length_function($example2, 10);
echo "$example1$example2!!";

Output:
cow google !!

I really wish you could edit posts after they've been posted. I just noticed my silly little subject line. "Neet" should be "Need"
