Bug description: formatting for sci notation
I humbly request that scientific notation formatting (ex. 7.16e-11) is
added to the function sprintf(). Currently I am using a function supplied
by another user:
function sci($x, $d=-1) {
$e=floor(log10($x));
$x*=pow(10,-$e);
$fmt=($d>=0)?".".$d:"";
$e=($e>=0)?"+".sprintf("%02d",$e):"-".sprintf("%02d",-$e);
return sprintf("%".$fmt."fe%s",$x,$e);
}
and can be found in the comments of this page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php
This function seems to be working fine for the time being, but this seems
like somethine many other people would use and an addition to PHP itself
would be better.
