note 16112 added to function.printf

Is it possible to use HTML code inside of printf()? I have been trying but with no success. It gives an error about not enough somthing (sorry im at work and the web page is on my computer at home), and only shows what I have shown from the database. I guess what i need to ask is whats the best way to pull things from a database and use html code at the same time? I am new to PHP, im just converting over from asp. :D -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.printf.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16112 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16112 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16112
