returnin a value in a function call

[rakennedy75]

ok, this might seem pretty simple to most of your guys. Everytime I think I am getting good at php I find that I don't understand something simple and I am brought back to the basics. Anyway, here is my question?

I am writiing a function, and I want to return a couple of values. I have to use the return statement since the scope of the variables are within my function. Can I use this on two values, here is a basic example. I am not putting my actual funciton due to the complexity and length of the function.

function myFunction(x, y)
{
      $value1 = 200 + x;
      $value2 = 400 + y;

  return $value1;
  return $value2;
}

$getValue = myFunction(10, 5);

this will give me the first return, is there a way I can get the values from both returns, I don't eve know if this is possible. Or is there an easier way to get these values.

thanks for your time

<?php 
function myFunction(x, y) 
{ 
      $value1 = 200 + x; 
      $value2 = 400 + y; 

  return array($value1,$value2); 
} 

list($value1,$value2) = myFunction(10, 5); 
?>

or

function myFunction($values) 
{ 
      $value['x'] = 200 + $values['x']; 
      $value['y'] = 400 + $values['y']; 

  return $value; 
} 

$values['x']=10;
$values['y']=5;

$getValue = myFunction($value);

echo $getValue['x'];
echo $getValue['y'];
