If I read his post correctly he was looking to make blah() available and not $blah.
In my mind that meant that he would be calling his function named blah not the variable. Then if he called the function blah he would get the value of $blah inside his function. Of course obviously being one of the OP you refer to I have read the manual > Variables > Variable scope. In this case I don't see how it related to his post, even though he stated that he was trying to echo $blah.... One of those letter of the law vs intent of the law sort of things..... But thanks for the condensintion..., maybe I can return the favor sometime. alex hogan > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 11:49 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Variables inside a function > > On Tuesday 09 March 2004 01:44, Alex Hogan wrote: > > Don't you need to set a return? > > > > Return $blah; > > > > At the bottom of your function block. > > That does not make the variable $blah available elsewhere in the program. > The > OP should take a look at manual > Variables > Variable scope. > > -- > Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz > Open Source Software Systems Integrators > * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * > ------------------------------------------ > Search the list archives before you post > http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general > ------------------------------------------ > /* > Remembering is for those who have forgotten. > -- Chinese proverb > */ > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ****************************************************************** The contents of this e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
