note 37181 added to function.fprintf

If you are coding for php5, but the code might be used on version prior php5; Or you are planning on using your code for php5 but you dont currently use it. (or for some other reason). Take a look on this code that provides a wrapper for the function. <?php if (!function_exists('fprintf')) { /** * @desc Wrapper for php versions prior php5. * @return int * @param $handle resource * @param $format string */ function fprintf($handle, $format) { $argc = func_num_args(); $argv = func_get_args(); $sprintf = "\$format = sprintf(\"".$format."\""; for ($i=2; $argc > 2 && $i < $argc; $i++) { $sprintf .= ", \$argv[$i]"; } $sprintf .= ");"; eval($sprintf); return fwrite($handle,$format); } } ?> Why fprintf() hasn't been added until php5 I don't know, as it isn't such advanced function. My guess is that they just forgot it ;) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fprintf.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37181 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37181&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37181&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
