Is there an equivalent to Perl's format function in PHP? I have a client that has an old-ass okidata dotmatrix printer, and need a good way to format receipts and bills with this arcane beast.

I remember easily doing this in perl with something like:

format BILLFORMAT = 
Name: @>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    Age: @###
      $name,                          $age
.
write;

Any ideas would be much appreciated, banging my head on the wall with this one. O.o
