note 72680 added to function.sprintf

In response to juan at ecogomera dot com: I think what you want is: $x = 3327 $y=decbin($x); echo $y."<br>"; $z = sprintf("%012d", $x); echo $z; 3327 110011111111 000000003327 Right? You were double-converting the number. First to binary, then again to decimal. You should be converting the source number directly into the required base. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 63.125.44.226 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72680 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72680/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72680/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72680/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72680/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72680/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72680/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72680 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72680 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
