ok, i understand,

so it is not really a 'pad' function but more a add string x-times to
another string function

the question for us is does str_pad treat '\0' as single char or string ...
imho it should be a single char and work with str_pad

simplest testcase is

$string = 'string';
$pad = '\0';
echo (strlen($string . $pad) === strlen(str_pad($string, strlen($string) +
1, $pad)));
