PHP: Can you use an array as the arguments part of the sprintf function? if so - how?

Question

From the PHP API reference:

string sprintf ( string $format [, mixed $args [, mixed $... ]] )

Returns a string produced according to the formatting string format.

Can $args be an array - If so how would I use it?

Answer 1

vsprintf() is your friend. You cannot use an array in sprintf in any meaningfull way, but you can call vsprintf() with an array of arguments (which replaces sprintf 's seperate function arguments).
