Warning: printf(): Too few arguments #1889
Description
Hello,
I've got strange issue with printf:
Static analysis returns [OK] No errors:
https://phpstan.org/r/9f50fcc7-89b2-4560-acd2-9c4a677d43d6
but PHP shows: Warning: printf(): Too few arguments:
http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/e596add638a9ec3b5bc7915e8cf5da011ce9dbe1
When I fix PHP code, I get error Call to printf contains 42 placeholders, 43 values given.
https://phpstan.org/r/07fe642b-8ee7-41ea-b005-8c99af7e118
Any ideas?

Yeah, that's the issue. However, I was wondering why PhpStan found this as issue and PHP not. Maybe you could also improve your tool to handle this strange behaviour of PHP.
Anyways, thank you and good luck!

interessting.. when adding the 4th argument, you get a "Missing format specifier at end of string" error
