sprintf help

[EY]

Alright i got a question about sprintf:

 

 

$price = 25;
$f_price = sprintf(“%01.2f”,$price);
echo “$f_price”;

 

So what this means is i name a variable like i would always

$price = 25;

 

Now what i need explanation is with

$f_price 

   

Do i just choose any other variable and put it there/. Can anyone explain the function of that being there.

 

 

And this piece of code is always the same right?

 sprintf("%01.2f"

And at the end i put ,and the variable i choose in first place.

 

 

Please tell me if this is right and also about the part i do not understand.

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish.

[l0ve2hat3]

you are using wierd quotes

$f_price = sprintf(“%01.2f”,$price);

 

do this:

$f_price = sprintf("%01.2f",$price);
