Hello.

I find a problem in the sprintf function when i try to format a string.

example:

<?
$out=sprintf("%4.4s","123456789");
echo strlen($out)." - $out<BR>";
?>

result: 9 - 123456789 instead of 4 - 1234

Formats %xs and %.ys work but not format like %x.ys where x and y are numbers.

The problem seems to come from the php_sprintf_appendstring
function located in the ext/standard/formatted_print.c file.

Putting in comment the following lines:

    /* if (max_width && min_width) { 
        expprec = max_width = 0;
    } */

seems to resolve the problem. But i dont know the possible impacts of this modification on others zend functions.
 
Best regards

Yves
