Re: printf() suggestion

MO>> For an example, this: MO>> printf("%h,%u",$string1,$string2); MO>> MO>> would be a shorthand way of doing this: MO>> printf("%s,%s",htmlspecialchars($string1),urlencode($string2)); Well, I'd think this, though non-standard, is not a bad addition. Only problem the "u" character already has meaning in C printf - it's "unsigned decimal". The "U" is free, though. MO>> *) easier to remember and shorter to type than htmlspecialchars() MO>> *) maybe faster, especially if printf() is already being used Well, I don't think it'd be really faster, but that doesn't matter too much. MO>> cons: MO>> *) duplicates existing functionality THis is not much of a problem too. There are number of aliases in PHP already. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665
