How come when I try
$htmlfile=sprintf("./html/%s%d.html",$name,$num);

it works fine but when I try to write $num as a string like so

$htmlfile=sprintf("./html/%s%s.html",$name,$num);

the resulting string gets partially overwritten. Is there a better way to do that? By the way I obtain $name and $num from 'list' of the out of 'explode' .

If you want to make sure it's passed to sprintf as a string I think this should work:

$htmlfile=sprintf("./html/%s%s.html","$name","$num");

just tried it, still overwrites, thanks though

You can just say:

$htmlfile = "./html/{$name}{$num}.html";

Easier

Swish, I think that { and } can be removed, right?

Isn't that the same as:

$htmlfile = "./html/".$name.$num.".html";

In this instance, yes.

$htmlfile = "./html/".$name.$num.".html"; 

Yes.
