Are there scanf and fprintf in PHP 5?

[RC]

I looked at that O'Reilly book Programming PHP
by Rasmus Lerdorf and Kevin Tatroe. That book
base on PHP 4. From Appendix A.
I could find

fscanf
printf

But where are

scanf
fprintf

sscanf
sprintf

Are those four available in PHP 5, now?
Thank Q!

PHP has a manual that you can search.

In fact one of my favourite features of the PHP site is you can just put:

php.net/something_you_t hink_might_be_a _function

... into your browser, and the site (a) redirects you to a local mirror, (b)
takes you straight to the manual page for the function if it exists or (c)
shows close matches or offers a Google search on the site if it doesn't match.

Fantastic.

So:

http://php.net/scanf

http://php.net/fprintf

http://php.net/sscanf

http://php.net/sprintf

I use sprintf liberally in PHP4 - it's been there for a long time. It's still
there in PHP5.

The best place to look for answers to questions like these is at

https://www.php.net

Just enter www.php.net/sprintf (or any function) and you will be taken
to that function if it exists.
