Re: Printf fails on large files

Hello, I don't think the problem you have is not the size of the file. It seems to depend on the content of that. (line 1) $a = 'abc%d'; (line 2) printf( "$a" ); will cause too-few-arguments error because variable $a contains the sequence of '%','d', which should be interpreted as formatting characters if you don't want it. use print() instead of printf(), or do like this: printf ( "<font color=blue>%s</font>\n", $conteudo );h Moriyoshi "In駻cia Sensorial Trabalhando" <inerteARROBAhotmail.com@pb1.pair.com> wrote: > He said no, here's the error: > > Warning: printf(): too few arguments in /htdocs/content.php on line 20 > > And here's the code.
