sprintf("%-*s", t-f+1, v) --> here "s" represents the entire line
No, 's' in the format stands for "string". It tells sprintf that the argument to be printed is a string (as opposed to %d which would expect a decimal number or %f which would expect a float).
So
is printing the string stored in variable v, with the format "%-*s", t-f+1 telling sprintf to justify left (-) and pad with (t-f+1) spaces.
Space concatenates strings in awk. So
will produce "onetwo"

$res = pg_query($dbconn, "select * from authors where author = 'Orwell'");
$i = pg_num_fields($res);
for ($j = 0; $j < $i; $j++) {
echo "column $j
";
$fieldname = pg_field_name($res, $j);
echo "fieldname: $fieldname
";
echo "printed length: " . pg_field_prtlen($res, $fieldname) . " characters
";
echo "storage length: " . pg_field_size($res, $j) . " bytes
