I would love to have access to variable length argument functions such as vaprintf(), vasprintf(), etc... so I can easily use func_get_args() in a function and then pass all remaining arguments to a function that can accept arguments in an array format, similar to call_user_func_array, except for non-user defined functions.

Small example:

function tprintf() {
	clearstatcache();
	$arg_list = func_get_args();
	$filename = array_shift($arg_list);
	if (($fd = @fopen($filename, "r"))) {
		rewind($fd);
		$contents = fread($fd, filesize($filename));
		fclose($fd);
	}
	return vaprintf($contents, $arg_list);
}

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, should be vprintf() and friends, not vaprintf().  Also, I'm sure this isn't too hard... if I could understand what was going on in the code for call_user_func_array, I'm sure I could make vprintf() at least.

I would really like to see vprintf() at least in the next release of PHP.  Others like vsprintf() or whatever I don't really need right now, but I really need vprintf() badly!
