How to make alignment on console in php

Question

I am trying to run a script through command prompt in PHP and trying to show the result in tabular form. But due to different character length of words I am not able to show

You could try the recent simple PHP library ConsoleTable if you don't want to use the standard PHP functions printf/sprintf or the pear package PEAR::Console_Table.

Example:

require_once 'ConsoleTable.php';

$table = new LucidFrame\Console\ConsoleTable();
$table
    ->addHeader('Language')
    ->addHeader('Year')
    ->addRow()
        ->addColumn('PHP')
        ->addColumn(1994)
    ->addRow()
        ->addColumn('C++')
        ->addColumn(1983)
    ->addRow()
        ->addColumn('C')
        ->addColumn(1970)
    ->display()
;

Output:

+----------+------+
| Language | Year |
+----------+------+
| PHP      | 1994 |
| C++      | 1983 |
| C        | 1970 |
+----------+------+
