small class help

[doddsey_65]

Hi, i have a class which i am writing(just a small test) which is supposed to create a label for a form but nothing is showing up. Here is the html part:

 

$frobj=new asf_form();
$frobj->form_label('Username');

 

and here is the class code:

 

function form_label($label='')
  {
  
  if($label == '') 
  {
  return false;
  }
  else
  {
  return '<label for='.$label.'>'.$label;
  }
  }

 

Have i done something wrong?

What are you doing with the value that $frobj->form_label('Username'); returns?

[doddsey_65]

i wanted to print it on the screen. so the output would be <label for='username'>Username

 

Am i going the wrong way about this?

I don't see a print or an echo statement any where in your code (php only does what your code tells it to do.) You are also not using the value that is returned when you call $frobj->form_label('Username');, so that is simply being discarded.

thanks for the reply. I have tried print rather than return and it works fine.

PFMaBiSmAd meant how are you outputting $frobj

 

You can leave your function do the return, but you need to:

 

echo $frobj
