We know that the sprintf() function writes a formatted string into a variable. We often see this type of code. Let me introduce how to use the sprintf() function. Friends in need can refer to it. .

Usage

sprintf(format,arg1,arg2,arg++)

Description
The format parameter is the format of the conversion, starting with the percent sign ("%") and ending with the conversion character. Possible format values below:

•%% - Returns the percent symbol
•%b - binary number
•%c - character
according to ASCII value •%d - signed decimal number
•%e - Continuous counting method (e.g. 1.5e+3)
•%u - unsigned decimal number
•%f - floating point number (local settings aware)
•%F - floating point number (not local settings aware)
•%o - octal number
•%s - string
•%x - Hexadecimal number (lowercase letters)
•%X - Hexadecimal number (capital letters)
Arguments arg1, arg2, ++, etc. are inserted into the main string at the percent sign (%) symbol. This function is executed step by step. At the first % sign, arg1 is inserted, at the second % sign, arg2, and so on.

I will see the following code on the WeChat open platform

代码如下

复制代码

$postObj = simplexml_load_string($postStr, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
                $fromUsername = $postObj->FromUserName;
                $toUsername = $postObj->ToUserName;
                $keyword = trim($postObj->Content);
                $time = time();
    $msgType = "text";
                $textTpl = "


       %s


       0
       ";
    if(!empty( $keyword ))
                {

                $contentStr = $this->keyrep($keyword);
     if( empty($contentStr) )
     {
      $contentStr ="你是故意的吧，没文化真可怕";//你是故意的吧，没文化真可怕;
     }
     //$contentStr = @iconv('UTF-8','gb2312',$keyword);
                $resultStr = sprintf($textTpl, $fromUsername, $toUsername, $time, $msgType, $contentStr);
                echo $resultStr;

                }else{
                $contentStr = '没文化真可怕，居然不会打字！';//$this->keyrep($keyword);
                //$contentStr = @iconv('UTF-8','gb2312',$keyword);
     $resultStr = sprintf($textTpl, $fromUsername, $toUsername, $time, $msgType, $contentStr);
                echo $resultStr;
                }

What is used above is in xml. Let’s look at another example written by a netizen

The code is as follows

Copy code
