Hi,
sscanf does what it says, that is
it reads parameters, which means it expects to find
a string like this "33996344" and converts it
into an integer; that's why you get the result you get.
This code does the job, but it's ugly: :).
<?php
$db='33996344,33996351,"GB","GBR","UNITED KINGDOM"
50331648,83886079,"US","USA","UNITED STATES"
94585424,94585439,"SE","SWE","SWEDEN"';
$lines=explode("\n", $db);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($lines);
foreach ($lines as $line) {
$args = explode(",", $line);
$array = sprintf("%010d,%010d,%2s", $args[0], $args[1], $args[2]);
$array = explode(",", $array);
list ($start, $end, $country) = $array;
print_r($array);
}
print_r(printf("%010d", "33996344"));
echo "</pre>";
?>
It uses sprintf.
Cheers,
