and I feel it would be more elegant to be able to do something like: $var ="first part of string {(($a==$b)?$c:$d)} rest of string";

$templateStr = 'first part of string %s rest of string'; $outputStr = sprintf($templateStr, (($a==$b)?$c:$d));

That is so totally slick! I'm definitely going to have to remember this neat little trick! :)

That's like using a bulldozer to tidy your living room. Why not use the following even more readable style (and more efficient)? $outputStr =

    'first part of string  '

.($a == $b ? $c : $d) .' rest of string';
