Pass var into wp function instead of direct string text

Question

Looking to replace static string text in this function with dynamic text from a var.

Current model:

  comments_number( 'no responses', '1 response', '% responses' );

Ideal Outcome (code guess):

  comments_number( '$no_responce_text', '1'.$responce_text, '%'.$responce_text );

I am sure this is an easy php question but stumped here.

Any help would be nice.

Thanks

This should do it:

comments_number(
   $no_responce_text,
   sprintf('1 %s', $responce_text), 
   sprintf('%% %s', $responce_text)
);`

Use get_comments_number if you want it properly localized.

	There is one issue is with the last part, it is only outputting 2s (2 being a number greater than 1). Any thoughts on how to output the text with it? Does it have to do with the two %? – estern23 Sep 18 '11 at 13:40
	yes, the first %s needed to be escaped, fixed it. – One Trick Pony Sep 18 '11 at 13:41
