When I attempt to use the %c formatting code with (for example, sprintf()), it ignores any width specifier that I indicate, as in the example code below. I saw nothing in the documentation that the %c code would not react to a width specifier any differently than the other data formats. Test script: --------------- <pre> <?php $x = ord('A'); echo sprintf("|%c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%1c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%2c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%3c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%4c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%5c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%6c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%7c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%-8c|\n\n\n",$x); ?> Expected result: ---------------- |A| |A| | A| | A| | A| | A| | A| | A| |A | (I expected this because this is what the equivalent code in C produces) Actual result: -------------- |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61626&edit=1
