Bug #15881 Updated: a new format char for sprintf kind function

ID: 15881 Updated by: Xuefer@21cn.com Reported By: Xuefer@21cn.com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: no one take care of the FEATUREs? i've forgot sth. not only addslashes should be supported in sprintf and also preg_quote and so on, including all "slashes"/"quote" function and will be nice if some other useful STRING function added into sprintf btw: i've take a look at the source code, addslashes() also invoke sprintf, don't make it infinite nested :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-06 13:19:05] Xuefer@21cn.com notice that it's capital "%S" not "%s" or any other unused char ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-05 11:23:52] Xuefer@21cn.com i've ask ppl in irc EFnet #php. none of them like runtime magic quote. so....... i would like to have the following feature: -> sprintf("%S", $string); which is the same function as addslashes($string); and i can do as the following: -> mysql_query(sprintf("UPDATE mytable SET abc='%S'", $string)); i think this would make a great change to those php-sql scripts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15881&edit=1
