function call produces strange result

[jespr]

I have an archive in mysql I want to display using php.
It works fine with most data but when I call a function that displays a "percentage grade" it is misplaced at the top of my table.
The function call is inside the table so howcome it's displayed outside???

some of my code:

while($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{ echo "<tr><td valign='top'>".tegn_soejle($myrow[5])."<br><b>$myrow[1]</b> ($myrow[2])";
....

the call to the function is of course "tegn_soejle(...)"

plz help

i'm betting your function has an echo in it. change it to return the value and you should be okay.

sorry I didn't show U what the function call should do, meanwhile I've solved the problem!

The function looked like this:

function tegn_soejle($score)
{ $m_faktor = 25;
$procent = ($score/13)100;
$procent = round($procent, 2);
$score = $score$m_faktor;
echo "<img src='images\billed.gif' height=7 width=$score border=0> ($procent %)";
}

//----------

I simply changed the "echo" line with a "return" line and that made all the difference...
