Display return value problem

[crossline]

Hi all,
I try to display result calculation data from text file using return(). But the problem is no display result on page. If I use echo in my function it will print the result. But I dont want to use echo in my function because i need to loop the result in html table.
Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Here is the code :

class test
{
   function count($n,$fp1)
    {
        $i=0;
        while($i<$n)
        {
            if(preg_match_all($this->timeregex,$fp1[$i],$result))
            {
                $res=$result[0][0];
                if(preg_match_all($this->pregnum,$res,$r))
                {
                    $one=$r[0][0];
                    $two= $r[0][1];
                    $three= $r[0][2];

                if(isset($one,$two,$three))
                {
                    $total=($one+$two+$three)/3;                 
                }
                elseif(isset($one,$two))
                {
                    $total=($one+$two)/2;                        
                }             
                else
                {                   
                    $total=$one;                        
                }             
            }
        }            
        return $total;          
        $i++;
    }
}
}

$test1=new test();


$file="file.txt";
$fp = file($file);
$n2=count($fp)-1;

echo "<table>";
while($i2<$n2-1)
{
    $i2++;

echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$i2 ."</td>";
echo "<td>" . $test1->count($n2,$fp). "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}

echo "</table>";
