 if I do this:

 if(validate($_POST['password'], $_POST['username']) != 0)
 echo validate($_POST['password'], $_POST['username']);

 will it execute the function twice or use the same result twice?

Function executes twice.

 would it be (slightly) faster to do this:

 $uid = validate($_POST['password'], $_POST['username'])
 if($uid != 0)
 echo $uid);

Probably.
