note 42224 added to function.sprintf

Note that when using the argument swapping, you MUST number every argument, otherwise sprintf gets confused. This only happens if you use number arguments first, then switch to a non-numbered, and then back to a numbered one. <?php $sql = sprintf( "select * from %1\$s left join %2\$s on( %1\$s.id = %2\$s.midpoint ) where %1\$s.name like '%%%s%%' and %2\$s.tagname is not null", "table1", "table2", "bob" ); // Wont work: // Sprintf will complain about not enough arguments. $sql = sprintf( "select * from %1\$s left join %2\$s on( %1\$s.id = %2\$s.midpoint ) where %1\$s.name like '%%%3\$s%%' and %2\$s.tagname is not null", "table1", "table2", "bob" ); // Will work: note the %3\$s ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42224 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42224&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42224&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
