Return Value

[stevena]

I'm a PHP newbie. I've been a client-side (JavaScript/DHTML) programmer for two years. I've reached a point where I need to use a server-side language to perform some functions. Anyways, my question:

In JavaScript, functions can return values. For instance, like this:

function myFunc(myParam) {
return myParam++;
}

Is there a way to do this in PHP? Any help is greatly appreciated. Have a nice day 🙂.

you can do ist the same way.

eg:

<?

function returnVal(){

$var = \"Hello my friend\";

return $var;
}

$msg = returnVal(); // call function
echo $msg;// echo returned string in teh variable $var
?>
