functions

[Anon]

Hi there,

I have a function that calls another function and then is supposed to return a value. This isn't working properly and I must be missing something. Here is a short example of what I am doing....

The result that I am getting is that the output is:

echo "<tr><td>$month,$day</td>";
echo "</tr>";

and it is leaving out the addition that the new_function is supposed to be adding, which is:

"<td>$a + $b = 9</td>";

Any help would be appreciated.

$day=10;
$month=5;

function my_test($day,$month){
$cal .= "<tr><td>$month,$day</td>";

$a = 3;
$b = 6;

new_function($a,$b);
$cal .= "</tr>";

echo $cal;
}

function new_function($a,$b){
$cal .= "<td>$a + $b = 9</td>";
return $cal;
}

in my_test(), assign $cal = new_function($a,$b)....

I am not exactly sure what you mean... could you please give me an example?

Thanks,

$cal .= "<tr><td>$month,$day</td>";

$a = 3;
$b = 6;

$cal = new_function($a,$b);
$cal .= "</tr>";

echo $cal;
}
