note 92124 added to function.sprintf

To add to other notes below about floating point problems, I noted that %f and %F will apparently output a maximum precision of 6 as a default so you have to specify 1.15f (eg) if you need more. In my case, the input (from MySQL) was a string with 15 digits of precision that was displayed with 6. Likely what happens is that the rounding occurs in the conversion to a float before it is displayed. Displaying it as 1.15f (or in my case, %s) shows the correct number. ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 174.7.25.37 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92124 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92124/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92124/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92124/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92124/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92124/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92124/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92124 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92124 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
