accessing return'ed value for a header:location?

[vaska]

I'm not sure how to do this (or if it's possible).

I have a functionB inside of another functionA and I want to "return" a value from functionB so functionA will know where to go upon completion.

function A(){

B($id); // returns $status where equal either "success" or "error"

header(location:somepage.php?sent=$status);

}

As you can see I can't echo this out. Is there a way to obtain the return'ed value?

Try this:

<?php

function A()
{
  $status = B($id);
  header('Location:somepage.php?sent=' . $status );
}

?>

If the variable $id is defined outside of the function A() then you have to declare it as a global variable.

<?php

function A()
{
  global $id;
  $status = B($id);

  header('Location:somepage.php?sent=' . $status );
}

?>
