Bug description:%c format code ignores width specification
Description:
------------
Nothing unique about my configuration; I've tried this on several
different
machines with different PHP versions and received the same result.
When I attempt to use the %c formatting code with (for example,
sprintf()),
it ignores any width specifier that I indicate, as in the example code
below.
I saw nothing in the documentation that the %c code would not react to a
width
specifier any differently than the other data formats.
Test script:
---------------
<pre>
<?php
$x = ord('A');
echo sprintf("|%c|\n",$x);
echo sprintf("|%1c|\n",$x);
echo sprintf("|%2c|\n",$x);
echo sprintf("|%3c|\n",$x);
echo sprintf("|%4c|\n",$x);
echo sprintf("|%5c|\n",$x);
echo sprintf("|%6c|\n",$x);
echo sprintf("|%7c|\n",$x);
echo sprintf("|%-8c|\n\n\n",$x);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
|A|
|A|
| A|
| A|
| A|
| A|
| A|
| A|
|A |
(I expected this because this is what the equivalent code in C produces)
Actual result:
--------------
|A|
|A|
|A|
|A|
|A|
|A|
|A|
|A|
|A|
