%s ???

[Anon]

What is "%" for whan placed in front of a variable name ? I often find this notation, like %s or %d, in exemple code. What does it mean ?

Have a look here..

%s stands for string and %d standards for decimal number, %s stands for hexadecimal.

so if you were printing out a string - you could assume that
sprintf($sbuf, "%s: %d", "Test", 12);
would set sbuf to
Test: 12
