Making life groovy has been difficult since the 60's.
You want to have sprintf look at the contents of the variable instead of the variable itself. Anytime you want to do something like this you use the eval() function to evaluate the contents of the variable.

Meh, syntax blip from the cut and paste.
Second, the string you are trying to format only has one variable argument: $s. Fred likes %1$s on his %2$s
The source array in this case has two entries. My whole aim is to pass an
array of n entries, unroll the array into a string and somehow interpolate
the string into the sprintf call so that life is groovy. I realise $s looks
like a single variable to PHP at that point sprintf() is called, and this is
what I'm trying to work around - some way to get sprintf to realise that $s
is actually two strings. Ie, I need a double level of interpolation on the
$s value so that sprintf($tmp[0], $s) turns into sprintf(tmp[0], $array[0],
$array[1]). I'm starting to get the feeling that this will be impossible.
