not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but it would be nice if it was noted
in the printf() manpage.
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
by a decimal point and two digits.
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
be noted, as it definitely causes C programmers to skew their alignment.
