You can shorten it even further by: if(do_something('hello'))

     {
    // do something with $result
     }

else

     {
    // do some other stuff
     }

This actually won't work because $result is not being assigned anywhere.

Ahhh yes , I didn't catch that. Sorry to all.

http://xn--ovg.com/a14.php Your page should show the source, otherwise it's impossible to tell what's happening.

I didn't think that necessary considering that I posted what I was doing. But, I posted it again in my example -- please review: http://xn--ovg.com/a14.php I see now why I got the same result as you -- $result was never cleared.

Yeah, I guess as long as I'm just testing for true or false it'll be ok.

The example isn't checking for true/false but rather "not-null/false" Cheers. tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
