Re: function()

Hi, this is the common way to do things: <? // declare function function test($param) { $param = $param + 4; return $param; } // option 1 -- prints 48 $param = test(44); echo $param; // option 2 -- prints 59 echo test(55); ?> I *think* you can also make param part of the global array, but this is totally UNTESTED code -- infact, I've never had the need to use the global array in this way. <? // declare function function test($param) { $_GLOBAL['param'] = $param + 4; } // option 1 echo $_GLOBAL['param']; // option 2 echo $param; ?> Good luck.
