#31877 [Opn->Bgs]: PRINTF returns garbage

ID: 31877 User updated by: kalle at ok dot ee Reported By: kalle at ok dot ee -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: linux 2.4.28 PHP Version: 4.3.10 New Comment: I have to admit, that I was stupid :( In previous versions PRINTF() returned true/false or nothing. From some versions on it returns number of characters printed. And <?=PRINTF();?> is not right, <?PRINTF();?> or <?=SPRINTF();?> is. Sorry everyone. But that return string was confusing :) Conclusion - overworking makes deamons appear..
