Just return the array. In the calling function you can then get the results in two ways: $results = assign(); /* $results is an array */ or list ($new_cat,...,$assigned_by) = assign(); If you want a better answer on what is going wrong, you'll need to send some more code. Eg the code that you've now replaced by <form>. It might just be that the error is in that part. </Reply> -- * R&zE: -- »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» -- Renze Munnik -- DataLink BV -- -- E: renze@datalink.nl -- W: +31 23 5326162 -- F: +31 23 5322144 -- M: +31 6 21811143 -- -- Stationsplein 82 -- 2011 LM HAARLEM -- Netherlands -- -- http://www.datalink.nl -- ««««««««««««««««««««««««
