help passing an array back

[dugindog]

I'm having trouble passing an array back so I can display what I need.

if someone could possibly take the time and point out what I'm doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated.

this is designed to run on a windows box, and gather log information that I am looking to collect from select systems.

the function works if I just display all as a table, however if I try to place to an array I seem unable to pass back (or am grabbing the wrong variables).

if needed I can also post the function with the standard display if anyone needs it

thanks in advance.

<?
$computers = array( 'computername1', 'computername2', 'computername3' ); 


function loginfo($vComputerName, $vClass)  {
   $objLocator = new COM("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator");

   if($vComputerName == "") $objService = $objLocator->ConnectServer();
   else                    $objService = $objLocator->ConnectServer($vComputerName);

   $objWEBM = $objService->Get($vClass);
   $objProp = $objWEBM->Properties_;
   $objMeth = $objWEBM->Methods_;

   foreach($objMeth as $methItem) 

   $objWEBMCol = $objWEBM->Instances_();

   foreach($objWEBMCol as $objItem) {

   //if ($objItem->DriveType == 3) {
     if ($_POST['type'] != "system") {
     echo "<tr><td>$vComputerName</td>";
       }

   foreach($objProp as $propItem) {
       $tmp = $propItem->Name;

       if ($tmp == "Caption") {

       if (strstr($objItem->$tmp, 'appevent')){
       $abc[0] = "appevent";
       //echo "<td>app - $appeven</td>";
       } 
       else 
       if (strstr($objItem->$tmp, 'secevent')){
       $abc = "secevent";
       //echo "<td>sec - $secevent</td>";
       } else 
       if (strstr($objItem->$tmp, 'sysevent')){
       $abc = "sysevent";
       //echo "<td>sec - $sysevent</td>";
       }else 
       if (strstr($objItem->$tmp, 'ntds')){
       $abc = "ntds";
       //echo "<td>ntds - $ntds</td>";
       } else 
       if (strstr($objItem->$tmp, 'dnsevent')){
       $abc = "dnsevent";
       //echo "<td>dns - $dnsevent</td>";
       } else 
       if (strstr($objItem->$tmp, 'ntfrs')){
       $abc = "ntfrs";
       //echo "<td>ntfrs - $ntfrs</td>";
       }
       }  
        else
       $t2 = $objItem->$tmp;
       if ($t2 == null) {
       $t2 = "&nbsp&nbsp";
       }

       if ($tmp == "NumberOfRecords") {

       $def[$counter5] = $t2;

       } 
       $counter5 ++;

   }

    } 


   return ($def) ;

}





echo "<BR><table width=550 border=1><tr><td>Computer Name</td><td>App Log</td><td>Sec Log</td><td>Sys Log</td><td>Dir. Serv. Log</td><td>DNS Log</td><td>File Rep. Log</td></tr>";
foreach ($computers as $cname) {
loginfo($cname, $linfo) ;
echo "<td>$def[0]</td><td>$def[1]</td><td>$def[2]</td><td>$def[3]</td><td>$def[4]</td><td>$def[5]</td></tr>";

you are telling the function to return $def, but you aren't assigning the return from loginfo to any variables.

eg
foreach ($computers as $cname) {
$def = loginfo($cname,$linfo);
then echo
}
