PHP | vsprintf() Function

The vsprintf() function in PHP is an inbuilt function and used to display array values as a formatted string. The array elements will be inserted at the percent (%) signs in the main string. Display array values as a formatted string according to its format and accepts an array argument in place of variable number of arguments. The function returns formatted string. while vprintf() outputs a formatted string

Syntax:

 vsprintf (format, arr_arguments)

Parameters Used : This Function takes Two parameter which are described below-

  1. format: It has Required parameter. It Specifies how string formated to be variables. Possible format values as below:
    • %% – Returns a percent sign
    • %b – Binary number
    • %d – Signed decimal number (negative, zero or positive)
    • %u – Unsigned decimal number (equal to or greather than zero)
    • %x – Hexadecimal number (lowercase letters)
    • %X – Hexadecimal number (uppercase letters)
    • %f – Floating-point number (local settings aware)
    • %F – Floating-point number (not local settings aware)
    • %o – Octal number
    • %c – The character according to the ASCII value
    • %s – String
    • %e – Scientific notation using a lowercase (e.g. 1.2e+2)
    • %g – shorter of %e and %f
    • %G – shorter of %E and %f
    • %E – Scientific notation using a uppercase (e.g. 1.2E+2)
  2. arr_arguments: An array arguments inserted at the % signs formated string.

Additional format:

    • – -> Left-justifies for variable value .
    • [0-9] -> maximum string length for number.
    • [0-9] -> minimum string width for variable value.
    • + -> Used for both[+ or-] (By default its negative number).

Program 1: String space specified program.
