string sprintf ( string $format, bool/int/string $args... )
sprintf() returns the formatted string. The parameters ($args …) will be inserted at percent sign(%) in the $format string. If parameter’s data type is different from the percent format, a juggling error occurs.
※ available F/W version : all
format:
%% - writes a literal percent character
%b - writes a binary number (argument: integer)
%c - writes a character of ASCII value (argument: integer)
%d - writes a decimal number (argument: integer)
%u - writes an unsigned decimal number (argument: integer)
%o - writes an octal number (argument: integer)
%e - writes a scientific notation (argument: float)
%E - like %s but uses uppercase letter (argument: float)
%f - writes a floating point number (argument: float)
%F - same to %s
%g - shorter of %e and %f (argument: float)
%G - shorter of %E and %f (argument: float)
%s - writes a string (argument:string)
%x - writes a hexadecimal number with lowercase letters (argument: string)
%X - writes a hexadecimal number with uppercase letters (argument: string)
If a number is inserted between the percent sign(%) and the format letter, the number means that the digit of the data. If the number starts with a zero (0), blank will be replaced with 0.
If ‘+’ is inserted between the percent sign(%) and the format letter or number, it outputs sign (+/-) even though the number is positive.
Returns the formatted string, PHP error on error
