Hi gang, Lets say that you have a function that prints something to the output simply like this: function print_str() { print "blah blah blah"; } I was wondering if there is a way to use this output and store it in a var or something without changing the function itself? And store the "blah blah blah" somewhere for later use? I can think of many reasons that someone could use this.
I know you said without changing the function... but is there any reason that you can't simply add this: <?PHP function print_str() { $str = "blah blah blah"; print $str; } ?> Totally untested and just trying to understand why :) -- Jason Pruim japruim@raoset.com 616.399.2355
