Problem with sprintf

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

i am usung gsm shield and posting to ubidots and want to change temperature to variable
how can i make temperature as variable?

     sprintf(URL, "POST /api/v1.6/devices/veetase HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: things.ubidots.com\r\nX-Auth-Token: BBFF-BPww3n4f4E1AnEVGnSzly\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\nContent-Length: 20\r\n\r\n{\"temperature\":100}\r\n");
     
          
     
       if (!fona.postData("things.ubidots.com", 443, "HTTPS", URL)) // Server, port, connection type, URL

What data type is temperature? Do you actually know how to use sprintf()?

Need to see your entire sketch.

I am using simcom 5320 and Adafruit_FONA.h library and want to use POST funtion to send data to web.

        float temperature = analogRead(A0) * 1.23; 
        uint16_t battLevel = 3700;
        char URL[150];
        char tempBuff[16];
        char battLevelBuff[16];
         dtostrf(temperature, 1, 2, tempBuff); 
        dtostrf(battLevel, 1, 0, battLevelBuff);
  sprintf(URL, "POST /api/v1.6/devices/veetase HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: things.ubidots.com\r\nX-Auth-Token: BBFF-1Mkt6C7sFnN5SVWTzROoIuTmoId\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\nContent-Length: 20\r\n\r\n{\"temperature\":100}\r\n");
                    
       if (!fona.postData("things.ubidots.com", 443, "HTTPS", URL)) // Server, port, connection type, URL

I'm not certain what size you really need for char URL, but see if this example does what you want.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  float temperature = 1234.56;//analogRead(A0) * 1.23;
  uint16_t battLevel = 3700;
  char URL[175];
  char tempBuff[16];
  char battLevelBuff[16];
  dtostrf(temperature, 1, 2, tempBuff);
  Serial.println(tempBuff);
  dtostrf(battLevel, 1, 0, battLevelBuff);
  //sprintf(URL, "POST /api/v1.6/devices/veetase HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: things.ubidots.com\r\nX-Auth-Token: BBFF-1Mkt6C7sFnN5SVWTzROoIuTmoId\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\nContent-Length: 20\r\n\r\n{\"temperature\":100}\r\n");
  sprintf(URL, "POST /api/v1.6/devices/veetase HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: things.ubidots.com\r\nX-Auth-Token: BBFF-1Mkt6C7sFnN5SVWTzROoIuTmoId\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\nContent-Length: 20\r\n\r\n{\"temperature\":%s}\r\n", tempBuff);
  Serial.print(URL);
  //if (!fona.postData("things.ubidots.com", 443, "HTTPS", URL)) // Server, port, connection type, URL
}

void loop() {}

i got this working like this:

    String httpbuff;
    httpbuff += "POST /api/v1.6/devices/veetase HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: things.ubidots.com\r\nX-Auth-Token: BBFF-BPww3n4f4E1AnEVGnSzlyyxz8U\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\nContent-Length: 20\r\n\r\n{\"";                          //{
    httpbuff += "temperature";                                   
    httpbuff += "\":";                                    
    httpbuff += temperature;                           
    httpbuff += "}\r\n";
    
const char *string1Char = httpbuff.c_str();
     
 fona.postData("things.ubidots.com", 443, "HTTPS", string1Char) ;// Server, port, connection type, URL

i got this working like this:

String httpbuff;

Before adopting String concatenation as the solution to your problem, you might want to read about the possible issues created by the use of the String objects.
