Hello all,
Just looking at a piece of code and I have a question.
I would like to know what '%s' means in this snippet of code below.
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
Kind regards,
Try the manual.

Thanks Installer.
So just to be clear printf() is used for printing formatted output.
so 's' would mean string and '%' space ? Is that correct?
Regards,
A type specifier that says what type the argument data should be treated as. Possible types: % - a literal percent character. No argument is required. b - the argument is treated as an integer, and presented as a binary number. c - the argument is treated as an integer, and presented as the character with that ASCII value. d - the argument is treated as an integer, and presented as a (signed) decimal number. e - the argument is treated as scientific notation (e.g. 1.2e+2). u - the argument is treated as an integer, and presented as an unsigned decimal number. f - the argument is treated as a float, and presented as a floating-point number (locale aware). F - the argument is treated as a float, and presented as a floating-point number (non-locale aware). Available since PHP 4.3.10 and PHP 5.0.3. o - the argument is treated as an integer, and presented as an octal number. s - the argument is treated as and presented as a string. x - the argument is treated as an integer and presented as a hexadecimal number (with lowercase letters). X - the argument is treated as an integer and presented as a hexadecimal number (with uppercase letters).
