Re: php programming style

why wouldn't it be?? it's clean code as long as you can read it without having to do much trouble, and you have written it the shortest way possible with still enough extra stuff around to make other ppl understand it... so, I would say -> yeah, it's clean :) - Tularis Beau Hartshorne wrote:

Hi, I'm curious if it's bad coding style for a function to return a value on success, or simply "false" on fail. Here's what I mean: <?php function foo($number) { if (is_numeric($number)) { return $number . ' is a number.'; } else { return false; } } if ($string = foo(1)) { echo $string; } else { echo 'error'; } ?>

Is this ok? Thank you, Beau
