Try this program and see what happens: <? function triple1($x) { $x = $x * 3; return $x; } function triple2($x) { $x = $x * 3; } function triple3($x) { global $x; $x = $x * 3; } $x = 5; $x = triple1($x) print '<p>triple1: ' . $x; $x = 5; print '<p>triple1 return: ' . triple1($x); $x = 5; $x = triple2($x) print '<p>triple2: ' . $x; $x = 5; print '<p>triple2 return: ' . triple2($x); $x = 5; $x = triple3($x) print '<p>triple3: ' . $x; $x = 5; print '<p>triple3 return: ' . triple3($x); ?> miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
