Your test that works suggests that the function is "echo"ing its results,
and not actually returning its results. To return its results the function
needs to end with
Function aFunction() {
do something;
Return $resultstring; // very last statement executed in function. <<<<<
}
This should allow
Echo "some string value".aFunction()."another string value";
To work,
Good luck,
Warren Vail

[snip]
echo "Some text";
aFunction();
echo "Some more text";
[/snip]
What is printed out?
if aFunction() is returning the string "test" then this code: echo "Some
text".aFunction()."some more text"; should print out:
Some texttestsome more text
