php function fprintf() that formats a string and writes it to the specified output stream

Example

Write some text to a text file named "test.txt":

<?php
$number = 9;
$str = "Beijing";
$file = fopen("test.txt","w");
echo fprintf($file,"There are %u million bicycles in %s.",$number,$str);
?>

The above code will output:

40

The following text Will be written to the file "test.txt":

There are 9 million bicycles in Beijing.

Definition and usage

fprintf() function writes the formatted string to the specified output Stream (e.g. file or database).

arg1, arg2, ++ parameters will be inserted into the main string at the percent sign (%) symbol. This function is executed step by step. At the first % sign, insert arg1, at the second % sign, arg2, and so on.

Note: If there are more % symbols than arg arguments, you must use placeholders. The placeholder is inserted after the % symbol and consists of a number and "\$". See Example 2.

Syntax

fprintf(stream,format,arg1,arg2,arg++)

Parameters                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Specifies where strings are written/output. ​

format ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Required. Specifies a string and how to format variables within it.

Possible format value: %% -Return a percentage number%

%b # %D -The decimal number of positive numbers (negative, 0, positive number)

## %E -The scientific counting method of using a lowercase (e.g. 1.2e+2)

## %E - Use uppercase scientific notation (e.g. 1.2E+2) %f - floating point number (local setting)

%f -floating point number (non -local settings)

#%G -shorter%e and%f

%g -shorter%e and%f

%O -Bayi System

%s - 字符串

%x - 十六进制数（小写字母）

%X - 十六进制数（大写字母）

附加的格式值。必需放置在 % 和字母之间（例如 %.2f）：

+ （在数字前面加上 + 或 - 来定义数字的正负性。默认情况下，只有负数才做标记，正数不做标记）

' （规定使用什么作为填充，默认是空格。它必须与宽度指定器一起使用。例如：%'x20s（使用 "x" 作为填充））

- （左调整变量值）

[0-9] （规定变量值的最小宽度）

.[0-9] （规定小数位数或最大字符串长度）

注释：如果使用多个上述的格式值，它们必须按照上面的顺序进行使用，不能打乱。

arg1 必需。规定插到 format 字符串中第一个 % 符号处的参数。

arg2 可选。规定插到 format 字符串中第二个 % 符号处的参数。

arg++ 可选。规定插到 format 字符串中第三、四等等 % 符号处的参数。

技术细节

返回值： 返回被写字符串的长度。

把一些文件写入到文件中

<?php
$number = 123;
$file = fopen("test.txt","w");
fprintf($file,"%f",$number);
?>

下面的文本将被写入到文件 "test.txt"：

123.000000

实例 2

使用占位符：

<?php
$number = 123;
$file = fopen("test.txt","w");
fprintf($file,"With 2 decimals: %1$.2f
nWith no decimals: %1$u",$number);
?>

下面的文本将被写入到文件 "test.txt"：

With 2 decimals: 123.00
With no decimals: 123

实例 3

使用 printf() 来演示所有可能的格式值：

<?php
$num1 = 123456789;
$num2 = -123456789;
$char = 50; // The ASCII Character 50 is 2

// Note: The format value "%%" returns a percent sign
printf("%%b = %b <br>",$num1); // Binary number
printf("%%c = %c <br>",$char); // The ASCII Character
printf("%%d = %d <br>",$num1); // Signed decimal number
printf("%%d = %d <br>",$num2); // Signed decimal number
printf("%%e = %e <br>",$num1); // Scientific notation (lowercase)
printf("%%E = %E <br>",$num1); // Scientific notation (uppercase)
printf("%%u = %u <br>",$num1); // Unsigned decimal number (positive)
printf("%%u = %u <br>",$num2); // Unsigned decimal number (negative)
printf("%%f = %f <br>",$num1); // Floating-point number (local settings aware)
printf("%%F = %F <br>",$num1); // Floating-point number (not local settings aware)
printf("%%g = %g <br>",$num1); // Shorter of %e and %f
printf("%%G = %G <br>",$num1); // Shorter of %E and %f
printf("%%o = %o <br>",$num1); // Octal number
printf("%%s = %s <br>",$num1); // String
printf("%%x = %x <br>",$num1); // Hexadecimal number (lowercase)
printf("%%X = %X <br>",$num1); // Hexadecimal number (uppercase)
printf("%%+d = %+d <br>",$num1); // Sign specifier (positive)
printf("%%+d = %+d <br>",$num2); // Sign specifier (negative)
?>

使用格式值 %f：

<?php 
$number = 123; 
printf("%f",$number); 
?>

字符串说明符的演示：

<?php
$str1 = "Hello";
$str2 = "Hello world!";
 
printf("[%s]<br>",$str1);
printf("[%8s]<br>",$str1);
printf("[%-8s]<br>",$str1);
printf("[%08s]<br>",$str1);
printf("[%&#39;*8s]<br>",$str1);
printf("[%8.8s]<br>",$str2);
?>
