Why use sprintf function in PHP?

by

sprintf has all the formatting capabilities of the original printf which means you can do much more than just inserting variable values in strings.

For instance, specify number format (hex, decimal, octal), number of decimals, padding and more. Google for printf and you’ll find plenty of examples. The wikipedia article on printf should get you started.
