lordvader Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 What does it mean when an example has %s and they say the %s is a string placeholder? Is that an actual php function or are they just using some kind of literary shorthand? If it is a php thing, how do I use it? thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/109075-solved-how-to-use-s-quotstring-placeholderquot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It is involved with the printf function (and sprintf, vsprintf, etc). http://www.php.net/printf ^^^ That has all the codes that you need. But here are examples: $lol = "Lol"; $num = 42; printf("My favorite number is %d and I love to %s", $num, $lol); //Prints "My favorite number is 42 and I love to Lol" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/109075-solved-how-to-use-s-quotstring-placeholderquot/#findComment-559576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
