and I feel it would be more elegant to be able to do something like: $var ="first part of string {(($a==$b)?$c:$d)} rest of string";$templateStr = 'first part of string %s rest of string'; $outputStr = sprintf($templateStr, (($a==$b)?$c:$d));
That is so totally slick! I'm definitely going to have to remember this neat little trick! :) thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
