I am trying to duplicate my C# string formatting where i can do something

  • 0

I am trying to duplicate my C# string formatting where i can do something like this:

Console.Writeline("My name is [0].  I have been a [1] for [2] days.", "bob", "member", "12")

I want to be able to do this in PHP, but as far as I know the only function that resembles this is sprintf(). Is there a function that is identical to the one above

echo function("My name is [0].  I have been a [1] for [2] days.", "bob", "member", "12")

    You could write your own function like e.g.

    <?php
    function Format($format /*, ... */) {
        $args = func_get_args();
        return preg_replace_callback('/\[(\\d)\]/',
            function($m) use($args) {
                // might want to add more error handling here...
                return $args[$m[1]+1];
            },
            $format
        );
    }
    
    $x = 'a';
    $y = 'b';
    echo Format('1=[1], 0=[0]', $x, $y);
