I'm working on a set of UDFs for preg functions.

I have a hard time figuring out when you would use such a function. I do
not believe you will be able to duplicate this behavior without
constructing your own UDF or by writing a stored procedure. BTW, why *do*
you want this function?

PM:
I'm trying to replicate this PHP behavior in a MySQL stored procedure.
The purpose is to pad every character of the string with a pad
character. For example, if the pad character is 'x' and the string is
'STRING', the result is 'xSxTxRxIxNxGx'.
Here is the PHP code if it helps. I'd like to use a regular
expression to replace, but I guess I could loop through the string
char by char and build a new one, it's just less elegant. Thanks in
advance.
PHP:
-------------
$regPattern = implode('x', preg_split('//', "STRING", -1,
PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY));
