Please use English. Probable translation is:

The %s tells printf() to format the value as a string. The first one will be
replaced with $row["id"] and the second one will be replaced with
$row["name"]. Read this for different formats you can use:

<http://www.php.net/sprintf>

Are you paying by the character, or are you replying by mobile phone, if
neither try to use full words in your reply, and please quote what you are
replying to.

For those of you that missed it, I was trying to respond in a language
that the OP would understand.
