[SOLVED] question...

[phpSensei]

I never use RETURN in functions by i try to and do not understand...

 

so if

 

function testing(){

$message = "hi";

return $message

}

 

and if I included this function, and tried to echo message, would it echo "HI"???

 

I tried it, but it doesnt work. Maybe I grasped the concept and havnt learned how to use it yet...

[phpSensei]

would this be a good use?

 

<?php  

function dbconnect(){

$dbhost = "localhost" ;
$dbname = "root" ;
$dbpass = "" ;

$connection = @mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbname,$dbpass) or die("Database is not available" . mysql_error());


if($connection){

$select_db=mysql_select_db("forums");

}

else

{

return $connection;

}
}
?>

<?php

dbconnect();

?>

Yes, it would return "hi", but to get that returned value, you need to assign it a variable.

 

<?php

function testing(){
   $message = "hi";
   return $message;
}

$text = testing();
echo $text;

?>
