[SOLVED] return a value

[corillo181]

i got a functions and it echos out a result, the problme is if i make the functions into a string it still echos out the result at the spot where the string is at..

 

illustration

<?php

function name(){
echo 'jay';
}

?>

 

now my problem is when i try to use it.

 

<?php
$names=name();

echo $names;

?>

 

the result will be

 

jay

 

jay

rather than using echo in the name function use return:

function name(){
    return 'jay';
}
