How to use sprintf() In PHP

To display formatted text in PHP, use printf() or sprintf(). Provide a format string with placeholders for variables, followed by the variables themselves. printf() prints directly to the output, while sprintf() returns the formatted string.

Example

PHP
<?php

$string = "w3wiki!!";

// Creating the formatted string using sprintf
$formattedString = sprintf("Printing the string: %s", $string);

// Printing the formatted string
print $formattedString;

?>

Output:

Printing the string: w3wiki!!
