PHP equivalent to Perl format function
- by Dustin Hansen
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
