A few pointers: A) As soon as a 'return' is encountered, function execution ends; it will never get to the lines containing additional returns. B) To return multiple values in a single 'return' statement, return an array variable. C) 'Return' does not set variables in the global scope for you; it's up to you to explicity set a variable. function myFunc() { ... return array ($one, $two, $three); } $returned=myFunc(); echo "{$returned[0]}, {$returned[1]}, {$returned[2]}"; -- CC
