note 69966 added to function.sprintf

The C implementation of printf (alteast in glibc) can handle field length as arguments like this: printf("[%-*s]\n", (int)20, "Hello"); To have the same result in PHP you need to run printf("[%s]\n, str_pad("Hello", 20) ); It would be nice if one could use the field length directly like in C. ---- Server IP: 129.16.214.50 Probable Submitter: 212.247.90.194 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69966 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69966/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69966/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69966/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69966/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69966/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69966/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69966 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69966 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
