Function That returns as Boolean

[Arc]

Hi, i am trying to create a few Functions that return a boolean Value. These functions are for things like Checking if the EmailAddress entered is a valid email address and if the phone number is valid etc...

I'm looking for something like

<?php
Function IsEmail($Address){
   $Char = strpos($Address,"@");
   $Char2 = strpos($Address,".");
   If ($Char === False Or $Char2 === False Or $Address == "" Or strlen($Address)< 9 ){
    IsEmail = FALSE;
	}else{
	IsEmail = TRUE;
	}
?>

And to use it i want to be able to do

If(IsEmail("www.address.com")){
Print "Valid Email Address";
}else{
Print "Invalid Email Address";
}

But i am getting both results returned.. it is saying it is true AND false... I don't understand.

Thanks!😃

Not sure what you mean by "both results returned", but it looks like you are trying to use VB syntax in your php function. That hardly ever works :p

To return a value from a function in php you need a "return" statement:
