Try adding each output string to a variable, then returning it, like:
function return_string(count) {
$return = '';
for ($x = 0; $x < $count; $x++) {
$return.= "<option value=$x> Row $x</option>";} return $return; } If you can't do that for some reason, try using output buffering. www.php.net/ob-start CF High wrote:
Hey all. Is it possible to populate a var with an output string generated by a function? So: ******************************* function write_string(count) { for ($x = 0; $x < $count; $x++) {-- The above message is encrypted with double rot13 encoding. Any unauthorized attempt to decrypt it will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.echo "<option value=$x> Row $x</option>";} } $my_string = write_string(5); echo $my_string; ******************************* I need $count option elements stored in $my_string. How to make this happen. Thanks for any ideas, --Noah --
