[SOLVED] return a variable in an existing function.

[spdwrench]

I do not know where this function is called in the script... but can I return the $login variable somehow within this function? like could I set a global $theloginwas    and record the value of $login in the function?

 

I am looking for a quick way to modify this function so I can read the $login variable outside of the function

 

please help

 

function doImport($importer_class,$login,$name)
{
global $_CONFIG;
$oRespX = new xajaxResponse();
$classFile = $_CONFIG['BASE_DIR'].'/include/classes/importer/'.$importer_class.'.php';
if (file_exists($classFile)) {
	require_once($classFile);
	$oImporter = new $importer_class();
	$bImporter = true;	
}
else{
	$bImporter = false;
}	

$sTxt = '';

if($bImporter){
	$result_array = $oImporter->run($login,$name);//array()

	if(is_array($result_array))
	{
		$names = array_shift($result_array);		
		$emails = array_shift($result_array);
		if(count($emails)>0){			

			$sTxt .= '<form action="" onsubmit="javascript:do_send(this);return false;" id="send_form" name="send_form">
			<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="background-color: #e9e9e9;">

			    <td width="25%" align="left"><b>Name</b></td>
			  </tr>
			  <tr> 
						<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="1" colspan="3"></td>

			  ';
			for ($i = 0; $i < count($emails) ; $i++) {
				if(strpos($emails[$i], '@')){

				$sTxt .='<tr>

$sTxt .= '';	

$oRespX->addAssign("login_form_div","innerHTML", $sTxt);	

return $oRespX;

I just need the $login value stored into a golabal somehow within the function is that possible?

[trq]

I dont se any $login variable. Maybe you should take a look at the manual in relation to functions and impliment it yourself.

[rofl90]

Am i missing the point or..

<?php
echo '$login'
?>

if the variable $login is already created.. but you havn't written that code if you're stuck with this, the best guide is php.net

[Neptunus Maris]

If possible put the two strings for print/return into an array

 

 

return array("$string1", "$string2");

 

 

 

...aahhh i dont know but i agree with rofl90

[lemmin]

Yes, Neptunus, you could, but it would likely mess up the other code that uses the function, as it is expecting a class.

 

The function accepts the variable $login, so if you find where the function is called, it will already have the value you are looking for in that scope. Something like: doImport($aclass, $alogin, $aname); You can use $aname as the login that is passed to that function.

ok I am on to a fix for my problem

 

the function asigns an outgoing email to be sent... I need to squeez the $login variable into this and I will have achieved my goal... the following line is returned in part of the function.

 

<input type="text" name="subject" readonly id="subject" value="'.$login.'" size="50">

 

this puts the $login variable in the subject line of the outgoing email my only problem now is I need it to say

 

for example if $login=paul

 

value needs to be: paul has invited you..

 

how can I ad invited you to the end of the $login when setting the value? I tried . and " and all kinds of ways but cant seem to get it.....

 

also how would I set a value like if I wanted login in the middle of some text also...

 

thanks guys... if I get this im all set to modify the function easily.

Your question is pretty vague. Does this help you?

 

<input type="text" name="subject" readonly id="subject" value="'.$login.' has invited you" size="50">

[spdwrench]

yea ... if that works... I was just having a problem with the actual sytanx...

 

If figured another way to do it in the meantime but I was going to ask if there was an easier way.....

 

this is how I got it to work

 

$ssub=$login." Has Invited You";

 

and I used $ssub  as the value... hehe anyway thanks I will use your method...
