Function Call

[twb]

Hello everyone, I have a problem and new to php if someone could help me out. I have case statement
with a variable that is set to 'edit'. The case statement 'edit' is called however the function dosen't get called. This code is all above the html.

switch ($action){
case "edit":
		echo "test edit 1"; //this does print
		 Edit_Task();
		echo " test edit 3 "; //this doesn't print
		break;

}//end switch 

Here in the function I have some echo statements that are not called. This function isn't suppose to return return anysthing just yet. I just want to see if it gets called.

function Edit_Task(){
echo "test Function Edit_Task"; ///this doesn't print
$query = 'SELECT * FROM calander WHERE task_id = $task_id';
echo "<br> $query "; //this dosen't print
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result){
	echo "Error in Search Results". mysql_error();}
else{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$task_name = $row['task_name'];
$task_description = $row['task_description'];
$task_date = $row['task_date'];
$task_time = $row['task_time']; }//close else 

Thanks

Try adding a simple return; statement at the end of your function and see what happens.

I had previously tried to return the actual query, with no luck.

is your function in the same file as your calling program, if not than you have to use include statement in calling program. so

include(name of file where your function is)
