'coz nowadays, I'm trying to grow up by caring performance and
optimization.

One quick glance of an experienced eye allowed to understand the blurred
and almost unreadable R. Rajesh Jeba Anbiah's handwriting:

I'd say "d'oh" (note the double quotes). Have you seen the php
benchmarks? Do you ALWAYS use the fastest solution? I don't think so.
And it that case, the "quotes optimization" is just completely
impossible to notice.

Ooh, I didn't know that "As of PHP 4.0.6 the format string supports argument
numbering/swapping.". http://uk2.php.net/sprintf

<?php
$format = "The %2\$s contains %1\$d monkeys.
That's a nice %2\$s full of %1\$d monkeys.";
printf($format, $num, $location);
?>
