note 105084 added to function.sprintf

Sprintf and Phone Numbers: PHPs integer limit is 2147483647 and this applies to sprintf's %d. For example: $phone='18004235233'; sprintf('%d',$phone); will return 2147483647 because the expected result of 18002345233 is greater than the integer maximum. Also, sprintf won't parse your phone number and take out all no digits with %d. For example: $phone='1-800-423-5233'; sprintf('%d',$phone); will return 1. Instead you can do: $phone=preg_replace('/\D/', '', '1-800-234-5233'); sprintf('%s',$phone); Good luck! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 12.222.191.27 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105084 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105084/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105084/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105084/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105084/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105084/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105084/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105084 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105084 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
