is ": %s" a variable or not

[schneidi]

I translate strings and have an understanding problem. Follow string" Latest News : %s for course : %s". Belongs ":" to the variable ": %s" or not?

Pal :) yes it is very important. with printf or sprintf characters preceded by the % sign are placeholders (or tokens). They will be replaced by a variable passed as an argument.

Example:

$str1 = 'best'; $str2 = 'world'; $say = sprintf('Tivie is the %s in the %s!', $str1, $str2); echo $say;

This will output:

Tivie is the best in the world!

Note: There are more placeholders (%s for string, %d for dec number, etc...).

The placeholder is only (%s) or is colon a part of the placeholder (: %s)?
