I'm guessing you need to escape that $ with a \ using addslashes().

[PHP] Problems with sprintf and swapping variables

2001-04-30 Thread Edward McLain

Ok.. now I hope that somebody can help with this one... I'm trying to write
a form field on a webpage that makes data entry of ever changing fields
easy.. In otherwords:

Enter Style:

You might enter:

Hello %s, how are you today.. I am fine.. I here you are turning %d.

Now this works when you pass sprintf($text, $name, $age);
but if you in the text say.

Happy %2/$d'th birthday %1/$s.

like the docs says your supposed to do it doesn't work and all you see is:
  Happy $d'th birthday $s.

What is up with this.. if you use %2/%d it sort of works, but it throws all
my other variables out of whack.. any help with this would be appreciative..

later,

Ed McLain
