Definition and usage

The vprintf() function outputs a formatted string.

Unlike printf(), the parameters in vprintf() are located in an array. Array elements will be inserted into the main string at the percent sign (%). This function is executed step by step. At the first % sign, the first array element is inserted, at the second % sign, the second array element is inserted, 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.

Tips: Related functions: sprintf(), printf(), vsprintf(), fprintf() and vfprintf()

Required. An array with parameters to be inserted into the format string at % symbols.

Parameters

Description

format

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

Possible format values:

%% - returns a percent sign %
%b - a binary number
%c - the character corresponding to the ASCII value
%d - the decimal number containing the sign (negative, 0, positive)
%e - Use lowercase scientific notation (e.g. 1.2e+2)
##%E - Use uppercase scientific notation (e.g. 1.2E+ 2)
%u - Decimal number without sign (greater than or equal to 0)
%f - Floating point number (local setting) )
%F - floating point number (non-native setting)
##%o - octal number
%s - character String
%x - Hexadecimal number (lowercase letters)
##%X - Hexadecimal number (uppercase letters)
Additional format value. Must be placed between % and a letter (e.g. %.2f):

+ (Add + or - in front of a number to define the sign of the number. By default, only Negative numbers are marked, positive numbers are not marked)

' (Specifies what to use as padding, the default is spaces. It must be used with the width specifier. For example: %'x20s ( Use "x" as padding))
- (Adjust the variable value left)
[0-9] (Specify the minimum variable value Width)
.[0-9] (Specifies the number of decimal places or the maximum string length)
Note: If you use more than one of the above The format values must be used in the order above and cannot be disrupted.

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)
