I like this, just because I don't need to repeat $row['name'] (but it is
the
same thing):
printf(
'%1$s%2$s>>> />',
$row['name'],
$row['address']
);

No, that won't work. The string that it is in, was created using single
quotes. Therefor the array reference will never be looked at. It will
simply print the actuall string, not the value associated to the array
reference.

another option is to wrap the array elements in curly braces
printf('%s%s',$row['name']
,$row['address']);

I use echo mostly. Some people like print() and some line printf() & sprintf(). Probably depends mostly on where you learned to program. Honestly, echo and print() use the same internal PHP construct. From what I understand, one links to the other as an alias or something to that affect. Also, the parenthesis are optional when using echo and print. Back in the day, to be consistent, most people used printf() in C or other similar programming languages.

I was wondering if that was possible.
Thanks for the tip.

Re: [PHP] Syntax Snag need extra eyes (RESOLVED)
Thanks Jim!! I did read the manual and don't get it, like why is printf used and not echo...how do you decided which to use?

The single ticks in your array() variable is causing the problem.
plus, since you are using single quotes for the entire string, the
variable isn't going to be interpreted as a variable. It will simply
print the string $row['name']
Also, this is the wrong way to use printf(). Please go read the manual
page for this function.
Try:
printf(
'%s%s',
$row['name'],
$row['name'],
$row['address']
);
This is the correct way to use printf()

It looks like you have nested single quotes. You probably need to escape
the inside set.
