Hi All,

I'm looking at some example code on the php.net website trying to learn the language.

What does this mean?

printf("ID: %s Name: %s" ......

What do the %s chars evaluate to?

Thx!

That is documented in detail on the PHP online manual page on sprintf()

it means the argument is treated as a string.
