RE: [PHP] a stupid question

Your test that works suggests that the function is "echo"ing its results, and not actually returning its results. To return its results the function needs to end with Function aFunction() { do something; Return $resultstring; // very last statement executed in function. <<<<< } This should allow Echo "some string value".aFunction()."another string value"; To work, Good luck, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Matt Matijevich [mailto:matijevich@alliancetechnologies.net] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 3:00 PM To: blake@lhwd.net; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] a stupid question [snip] echo "Some text"; aFunction(); echo "Some more text"; [/snip] What is printed out? if aFunction() is returning the string "test" then this code: echo "Some text".aFunction()."some more text"; should print out: Some texttestsome more text -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
