Returning multiple values from a function.

[dmccabe]

I am just playing with my first function and want to use it to return information about the logged in user from our ldap server.

 

I have all the ldap stuff working, but want to ask if it is possible to return multiple values from a function?

 

so something like:

 

function ldapvals($username,$password) {
code stuff here

return $memberof;
return $profilepath;
return $fullname;
}

is that possible?

Returning an array is as close as you'll get.

Returning it in an array is

function ldapvals($username,$password) {
code stuff here

$array = array();
$array[] = $memberof;
$array[] = $profilepath;
$array[] = $fullname;

return $array;
}

THanks gents, excuse my ignorance, but how do I then pull the values from the array?

$boo = ldapvals("fdfd","ff");
foreach ($boo as $ahhh => $eeee)
{
echo $eeee . " = > " . $ahhh . "<br />";
}

Thats how I would do it anyway.

or:

$boo = ldapvals("fdfd","ff");
$boo[0];//element 1
$boo[1];//element 2
$boo[2];//element 3
