Re: novice question

JD, This is how you would do it: <? $ab = add($a,$b); echo"$ab"; ?> - or you could do it directly like this - <? echo add($a,$b); ?> - or my personal preference - <?=add($a,$b)?> =============== <? function add($a,$b) { $ab =$a+$b; return $ab; } ?> A quick read of the section on functions in the online manual would be a great resource. In fact, I recommend checking the manual before posting to this list. It's a great tool and contains user comments. Chances are that if you have a problem, someone else has already run into it and posted the solution in the manual.
