I've included an example here, it's mailer code, but, should illustrate what you need to do. function test() { $return_array = null; if (...) { $return_array = $db->getAll("SELECT * FROM table", DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC); } return $return_array; } That means, you need to assign or indicate that return_array exists before you use it in something like return or other PHP function. Your php.ini file for PHP 4 could have been more forgiving coming to these notices/warnings. Warm Regards, Torgny Bjers
