ID: 28633 User updated by: jschmidt at thriftycmh dot net Reported By: jschmidt at thriftycmh dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Linux 2.4 PHP Version: 4.3.7 New Comment:
How can this be correct behavior if it was working this way for all the previous 4.3.X versions? I did check the manual and I see no updates to indicate that this is changed behavior. In fact, quoting from the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php "Each conversion specification consists of a percent sign (%), followed by one or more of these elements, in order: An optional padding specifier that says what character will be used for padding the results to the right string size. This may be a space character or a 0 (zero character). The default is to pad with spaces" So again, sprintf("%3.2f",'1.00') is no longer padding with leading spaces as it was in previous versions. If it is a changed behavior, please indicate this in the documentation.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is the correct behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-04 17:12:58] jschmidt at thriftycmh dot net Description: ------------ sprintf("%3.2f",'1.00') This was working fine in 4.3.6 but not in 4.3.7. The expected output is " 1.00" but is "1.00". In other words, the leading spaces are no longer working. Reproduce code: --------------- sprintf("%3.2f",'1.00') Expected result: ---------------- " 1.00" Actual result: -------------- "1.00" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28633&edit=1
