returning more then one thing in a function?

[Demonic]

is it this correct?

[code]
<?php
function connect($localhost,$username,$password,$database);
mysql_connect('$localhost','$username','$password') or die(mysql_error));
mysql_select_db('$database') or die(mysql_error());
return $localhost,$username,$password,$database;
}
?>
[/code]

No.

You can only return a single value, however that value can be an array. So you could

return array($localhost,$username,$password,$database);

But in that case, having passed those values to the function and they remain unchanges in the function, where's the point in then returning them again?

[Demonic]

so changing what i have to:
return array($localhost,$username,$password,$database);

would work?

Pointless, but should work.
