note 89349 added to function.vsprintf

Heres a new version of the vnsprintf function, i call it dsprintf, but that should matter. <?php function dsprintf() { $data = func_get_args(); // get all the arguments $string = array_shift($data); // the string is the first one if (is_array(func_get_arg(1))) { // if the second one is an array, use that $data = func_get_arg(1); } $used_keys = array(); // get the matches, and feed them to our function $string = preg_replace('/\%\((.*?)\)(.)/e', 'dsprintfMatch(\'$1\',\'$2\',\$data,$used_keys)',$string); $data = array_diff_key($data,$used_keys); // diff the data with the used_keys return vsprintf($string,$data); // yeah! } function dsprintfMatch($m1,$m2,&$data,&$used_keys) { if (isset($data[$m1])) { // if the key is there $str = $data[$m1]; $used_keys[$m1] = $m1; // dont unset it, it can be used multiple times return sprintf("%".$m2,$str); // sprintf the string, so %s, or %d works like it should } else { return "%".$m2; // else, return a regular %s, or %d or whatever is used } } $str = "Hello, %(place)s, how is it hanning at %(place)s? %s works just as well"; $find = array( 'place' => 'world', 'sprintf', 'not used' ); echo dsprintf($str, $find); // 'Hello, world, how is it hanning at world? sprintf works just as well' ?> ---- Server IP: 87.54.44.10 Probable Submitter: 80.166.222.82 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.vsprintf.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89349 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89349/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89349/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89349/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89349/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89349/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89349/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89349 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89349 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
