Meh, syntax blip from the cut and paste.

The source array in this case has two entries. My whole aim is to pass an
array of n entries, unroll the array into a string and somehow interpolate
the string into the sprintf call so that life is groovy. I realise $s looks
like a single variable to PHP at that point sprintf() is called, and this is
what I'm trying to work around - some way to get sprintf to realise that $s
is actually two strings. Ie, I need a double level of interpolation on the
$s value so that sprintf($tmp[0], $s) turns into sprintf(tmp[0], $array[0],
$array[1]). I'm starting to get the feeling that this will be impossible.
