RE: [PHP-DEV] Bug #858: sprintf gives "Document Contains No Data" when referenced string is empty From: Leon Atkinson (leon <email protected>)

Yes I'm printing lots of other stuff. This is just a snippet. If you
prefer:

<HTML>
<?
        print(sprintf("%s", ""));
?>
</HTML>

In the script in which I discovered this, I had lots of other print
statements. If I added calls to flush(), then I would get the output, up to
the point where sprintf caused the script to crash.
