Getting result from function

[dila125]

I think the answer to this is really easy but I've been awake too long and my minds not working!!

The problem is when the function doesn't return false, how can I use the value it returns? The code below doesn't work.

if( insert_order($_POST)!=false )
{
echo $orderID;
}


function insert_order($order_details)
{
if whatever
    return false;
else
   return $orderID;
}

try defining $orderID as a global variable so that the fuction can actually see it 🙂

like

function blah() {
   global $orderID;
}

That was the first thing I tried - but it didn't help. Any other ideas?

Set a variable...

$blah = insert_order($_POST);
if($blah !== false) {
   echo $blah;
}
