Bug #583 Updated: sprintf not allowing zero padding on decimal numbers

ID: 583 Updated by: zeev Reported By: stef@moi.org Status: Closed Bug Type: Misbehaving function Assigned To: Comments: [jim] Unfortunately, supporting %.# for decimal numbers isn't quite trivial -- for example, sprintf("%3.2d", 8) produces " 08". (Not that this can't or shouldn't be supported, just making note of the fact that it isn't trivial and requires handling cases like that.) [ssb] PHP's formatter is a bit different from that of libc here. Everything after the "." in the formatting specifier applies to the decimal part of a floating-point number, (or the truncation length for strings). Won't sprintf("%02d", $foo) do what you want, or have I misunderstood your problem? [zeev] this has been lingering for too long, Stig's solution works perfectly.
