Subject: [PHP-DOC] differences in printf() between php and C
>
> not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but it would be nice if it was
noted

> in standard C, the format "%10.2f" means show 10 characters, of which the
> last 3 are decimal point and 2 digits. ie. the total length is 10 chars.

> in php, it appears that "%10.2f" means show 10 whole number digits,
followed

> in C: printf("[10.2f]", 99.99); == [ 99.99]
> in PHP: printf("[10.2f]", 99.99); == [ 99.99]

> while i wouldn't expect PHP to "fix" their printf(), this difference
should
