PHP String Reference PHP String Reference

Examples

Write some text into a text file named "test.txt" is:

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

The code above 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 to format string is written to the specified output stream (for example: file or database).

arg1, arg2, ++ parameters will be inserted into the main string percent sign (%) sign at. This function is performed on. In the first% sign at the insertion arg1, symbol% ​​in the second place, insert arg2, and so on.

Note: If the% symbol than arg parameter, you must use placeholders.After placeholder is inserted into the% symbol, numbers and "\ $" component. See Example 2.

Tip: correlation function: the printf () , sprintf () , vprintf, () , vsprintf () and vfprintf ()

grammar

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

参数 描述
stream 必需。规定在哪里写入/输出字符串。
format 必需。规定字符串以及如何格式化其中的变量。

可能的格式值：

  • %% - 返回一个百分号 %
  • %b - 二进制数
  • %c - ASCII 值对应的字符
  • %d - 包含正负号的十进制数（负数、0、正数）
  • %e - 使用小写的科学计数法（例如 1.2e+2）
  • %E - 使用大写的科学计数法（例如 1.2E+2）
  • %u - 不包含正负号的十进制数（大于等于 0）
  • %f - 浮点数（本地设置）
  • %F - 浮点数（非本地设置）
  • %g - 较短的 %e 和 %f
  • %G - 较短的 %E 和 %f
  • %o - 八进制数
  • %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。

technical details

return value: Returns the length of the string to be written.

Example 1

Some text is written to the file:

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

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

123.000000

Example 2

Use placeholders:

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

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

With 2 decimals: 123.00
With no decimals: 123

Example 3

Using printf () to demonstrate the value of all the possible formats:

<?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)
?>
