[SOLVED] FUNCTION not quite "FUNCTIONAL"

[Chezshire]

I have a simple function which i've written, it does what I want and then some as it delivers the info with quotes around it which I don't want. How do i remove the quotes? I've tried a few things and nothing has worked. Help?

 

FUNCTION:

function getSquadName ($id) {
$myLogin = readDatabase("select squadronDB from cerebra WHERE id=\"$id\"");
if (!$myLogin["squadronDB"]) { return " \"$id\""; } else { return $myLogin["squadronDB"]; }
} // end FUNCTION

perhaps

 

return $id;

 

instead of

 

return " \"$id\"";

Thank you Barand,

 

I had to add some quotes in, but thanks, your guideance helped me to look at my problem from another angle!

 

This is what I did:

function getSquadName ($id) {
$myLogin = readDatabase("select squadronDB from cerebra WHERE id=\"$id\"");
if (!$myLogin["squadronDB"]) { return " $id "; } else { return $myLogin["squadronDB"]; }
} // end FUNCTION
