If you do:

$result = sprintf('Variable 1: %s .... Variable 2: %s', $var1, $var2);

Then the contents of the occurencies of %s will be replaced by the vars after the string
in the order they appear ...

you can achieve the same with
$result = str_replace('%s', $var1, $origStr);

Normally you should choose sprintf if you replace %s and str_replace for all others.
(sprintf is some kinf of C relict for people who don't know about str_replace)
