Your way would work perfect except that I simplified the function I
posted, for illustrative purposes -- a mistake, I realize. The returned
error message is actually composed of an imploded array, whose contents
are entirely dependent on the code in the function (basically it varies
depending on circumstances, so I can't write a test for it).
I ended up just performing the checks in the script itself, rather than
in a function, because I was only using a function as a subroutine to
keep my script's switch() statement nice and clean. But in this case,
it just was too much trouble (I was also running into a situation where
I had to deal with a global variable, etc). Since I don't really need
this anywhere else in the script, I don't really even need it to be a
function.
Thanks for your input though, Julio.
