a function inside of another functions loop...

[vaska]

This is really the first time I've tried writing any actual functions, so bare with me. 😃

I've written a simple loup that grabs some things and outputs them to the page - it works very well.

Now, I'm trying to call up another function inside of the loop to display the number of comments something has (it's for a blog I'm playing around with).

I call it up like this (I'm not posting the entire code - I don't think it's necessary...?):

$s .= "<h1>$rs[title]</h1>\n";
$s .= "$rs[text]\n\n";
$s .= getCommNumber($rs['id'], $rs['show'], $rs['template'], $rs['ptime'], $rs['usernick']);

Now, what's happening is that "getCommNumber" is returning a result for only one of the entires - not each individual one. The query I'm using for this fucntion is correct - I've tested it outside of the functions altogether and it works just right.

So, the question is, can I call another function inside of another functions loop and have it return the correct data?

Otherwise, is there another approach I should take to solving this?

Thanks for the help...v

as with all programming, you never know until you try... and you wont always have people to fall back and ask to validate things...

does function in function work... yes
does what you are trying work... we dont know
will it? maybe, try it and let us know, but your theory is right so you have a good chance of it coming out well

note: just be sure that your internal function is getting the right data from the outside function to make its call
