Recursive script not returning value

[Pig]

I'm trying to get this recursive function to work. I echoed out $needle at the beginning, so I know it is incrementing correctly, and I know that is stopping at the correct increment. However, it is not returning the $needle.

function unique_name($needle, $haystack, $mod = "x")
{
    if( !in_array($needle, $haystack) ) return $needle;
    else unique_name($needle . $mod, $haystack, $mod);
}

Hi,

you forgot the second return:

function unique_name($needle, $haystack, $mod = "x") 
{ 
    if( !in_array($needle, $haystack) ) return $needle; 
    else return unique_name($needle . $mod, $haystack, $mod); 
}
