php-sprintf
===========

[](#php-sprintf)

`\sergiosgc\sprintf` adds to `sprintf` a new conversion specifier for named arguments. In regular sprintf, arguments are applied to conversion specifiers using order only:

```
$result = sprintf('%d is %s in %s', $target, $role, $container);

```

`\sergiosgc\sprintf` allows you to use named conversion specifiers:

```
$result = sprintf('% is % in %', [ 'target' => $target, 'role' => $role, 'container' => $container ]);

```

The first argument after the format string is an associative array of named arguments. You may also use classic position based conversion specifiers:

```
$result = sprintf('% mixed with %s', [ 'named' => $someVar ], $positionalArgument);

```

`\sergiosgc\printf` shares `\sergiosgc\sprintf` behavior, except it prints the result instead of returning it.
