Description:
------------
http://se.php.net/sprintf#AEN144043

The slashes infront of the $ shouldn't as far as I can see, be there:

Example 3. Argument swapping
<?php
$format = "The %2\$s contains %1\$d monkeys";
printf($format, $num, $location);
?>

This is not a bug. The slashes are required because you have the integer specifying the order in front of the $.

Sorry, my mistake. 
When using " as string delimiter, they should obviously be there, as in the example. But, if using ' as string delimiter, they shouldn't be there, but this isn't really relevant for the example.
