Hi I have this function below - if it reurns false I want to also return the error so I can print it in my calling function. Can I do this? Cheers Matt function fileUpload($file) { if ($file['type'] == "image/gif" || $file['type'] == "image/pjpeg"){
    if (@copy ($file['tmp_name'], "images/" . $file['name']))
      return true;
  }else {     return false;
} }

$error = ""; function fileUpload($file) { global $error; if ($file['type'] == "image/gif" || $file['type'] == "image/pjpeg"){

    if (@copy ($file['tmp_name'], "images/" . $file['name']))
      return true;

}else {

    $error = "Something went wrong";
    return false;

} } if ( ! fileUpload ( $file ) ) { echo ( $error ); } Course, there are numerous other ways of doing this. I persoanlly use two custom functions to handle/display errors. -- John C. Nichel ÜberGeek KegWorks.com 716.856.9675 john@kegworks.com
