Just started a course on PHP and we're doing stuff with mySQL.

On this page: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function...etch-array.php

In example 2, there are these lines:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
printf("ID: %s Name: %s", $row[0], $row[1]);

What is the %s - a variable into the array or something?

Thanks.

Look at http://www.php.net/sprintf
