[PHP] what is %s %d
what is %s and %d I see these in php tutorials. These are used in printing data from database but I don't know why we use %s and %d. And is there any expressions like this?

Re: [PHP] what is %s %d
They are codes for date formatting.
Specifically:
%s represents seconds with leading zeros.
%d represents day of the month with leading zeros
so
date("%s %d",mktime());
would equal something like
59 08
you can find all the date codes at http://php.net/date

P.S. I hope you at least tried to look this up.

Actually you'd get:
%59 %08
because date() does not use percent signs in the formatting. However, and I
think this is what you're thinking about, DATE_FORMAT() in MySQL does use
the percent signs like you've demonstrated.
