[RESOLVED] Return more than one value from Function

[StevenJ]

I have written my own functions to make my site easier to understand, and also so the basic php pages are clearer to follow.

I have written a function to return one field (MySQL) of the last uploaded record, the end of the function looks like so:

return ($row_latest_image['filename']);

however, I wish to expand on this now, by returning another field. Is it possible to return more than one value from a function? and if so how? I have thought of using an array - and this can be returned as a session variable - but this seems clumsy 😕

I have searched the forum but found nothing. Searching for return values brings millions of topics.

regards

S

to return more than one value is easy!

After posting, I looked at what I my question, and it came to me. So for all those wishing to "Retun More Than One Value From A Funtion"

use a function call like:

list ($var1, $Var2, $Var3) = function_name($calling_parameter) ;

the return statement in your function should look like

return ($val1, $val2, $val3) ;
