note 65181 added to function.sprintf

<? /** * [string or int] vprint ( string $format [, mixed $ary [, bool $return]] ) * * Closely mimics the functionality of sprintf(), printf(), vprintf(), and vsprintf(). * * Replaces %[bcdeufFosxX] with each element of $ary * See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php for details on replacement types. * * If there are not enough elements in $ary (or it is left out) to satisfy $format, * it will be padded to the correct length. * * Since v*printf() doesn't mind having too many elements in the array, $format will be left alone. * * If $ary is a string, it will be recast into an array. * * If $return is set to a value considered to be false (0, '', null, false, and array()), * then the output will be sent to STDOUT and the strlen() of the output string will be returned; * otherwise, the output string will be returned. * * It's buggy when using the argument swapping functionality, unless you do it propperly. * * May break when using modifiers (%.4e, %02s, etc), unless you do it propperly. **/ function vprint($format, $ary = array(), $return = true) { // Sanity?! if (!is_array($ary)) $ary = array($ary); // Find %n$n. preg_match_all('#\\%[\\d]*\\$[bcdeufFosxX]#', $format, $matches); // Weed out the dupes and count how many there are. $counts = count(array_unique($matches[0])); // Count the number of %n's and add it to the number of %n$n's. $countf = preg_match_all('#\\%[bcdeufFosxX]#', $format, $matches) + $counts; // Count the number of replacements. $counta = count($ary); if ($countf > $counta) { // Pad $ary if there's not enough elements. $ary = array_pad($ary, $countf, "&nbsp;"); } if ($return) { return vsprintf($format, $ary); } else { return vprintf($format, $ary); } } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 65.100.194.45 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/65181 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65181/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65181/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65181/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65181/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65181/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65181/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65181 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/65181 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
