printf function in PHP
<p>I'm from a C background and understand basics of printf function. </p>

<p>I came across the follwing code </p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
printf('%4$d %2$s code for %3$3.2f %1$s', "hours", "coders", 9, 99);
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>which prints:</p>

<pre><code>99 coders code for 9.00 hours
</code></pre>

<p>Can anyone help me in understanding the call to the printf function.</p>
