From: Operating system: Ubuntu PHP version: 5.3.10 Package: Output Control Bug Type: Bug Bug description:%c format code ignores width specification
Description: ------------ Nothing unique about my configuration; I've tried this on several different machines with different PHP versions and received the same result. When I attempt to use the %c formatting code with (for example, sprintf()), it ignores any width specifier that I indicate, as in the example code below. I saw nothing in the documentation that the %c code would not react to a width specifier any differently than the other data formats. Test script: --------------- <pre> <?php $x = ord('A'); echo sprintf("|%c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%1c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%2c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%3c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%4c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%5c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%6c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%7c|\n",$x); echo sprintf("|%-8c|\n\n\n",$x); ?> Expected result: ---------------- |A| |A| | A| | A| | A| | A| | A| | A| |A | (I expected this because this is what the equivalent code in C produces) Actual result: -------------- |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| |A| -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61626&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=61626&r=mysqlcfg
