How can I fill a table space with periods?

For instance I have:

Money (several spaces) $10
Sold (several spaces) $5


how could I fill the <td> where several spaces is with ....

Money..............................$10
Sold.................................$5

??

echo "<table>

<tr><td>Moneyy..............................$10</td></tr>

<tr><td>Sold.................................$5</td></tr>

</table>";

well, its not that easy (I wish it were).
I don't know the amount of space that is going to be between the variables such as Sold and Money but I want the money field to be left aligned and on the same space.

Var1 ............................................. $10
Var2 ..............................................$5
V3....................................................$27,000

Is there anything in PHP that lets me fill a space with a period (.)?

 <tr><td ALIGN="right">Money</td><td ALIGN="center">........................</td><td ALIGN="left">$10</td></tr>
 <tr><td ALIGN="right">Sold</td><td ALIGN="center">........................</td><td ALIGN="left">$5</td></tr>
</table>

I think he wants something dynamic or something, to determine the ammount of periods or something......not quite clear what he wants

From what he has in detail, I answered it. But if he wants something to automatically generate a form for him. Well thats different.
