Assign Function Output To Variable??
I've found some references to this topic at :
http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...ion+to+variable
but it does not seem to be working for me.

here's a snippet...

<? PHP
function listPeople ($getArray)
{
foreach ( $getArray as $val )
{
echo "$val, ";
}
}

$foo = listPeople($splitDirector);
?>

The function works, and as you can see i'm simply trying to assign the output of the function to $foo. But instead, the output is written to the page where I assign it... like a print or echo statement, and the variable $foo is empty.

Assign Value To Variable
Is there any way I can use a function to create a variable and assign
a value to it? I have a Perl script that returns some LDAP
information:

sn=Shore
givenname=Mike
logintime=20041008153445Z
logindisabled=FALSE

Instead of parsing this text and assigning the values, I was wondering
if a function exists where I can pass a variable name and a value, and
the variable would be created.

ie. somefunc("sn", "Shore")

Would create the variable $sn and assign the value "Shore" to it.

Assign MySQL Function Result To PHP Variable
I know to use: mysql_fetch_row($result) to convert a row from a SQL query result set into an array for use with PHP. but in the case of SQL queries that return one value, such as calls to MySQL functions, is there another PHP mysql api function I should use.

For example, right now I use a "workaround" technique from PHPBuilder:
$result=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename");
list($numrows)=mysql_fetch_row($result);

Rather than using this "workaround" code is there a way to simply assign the result of the MySQL function query to a variable.

$result=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename");
$numrows=mysteryfunction($result);

Include Output As Variable
I'm working with some code, and have run into an issue that, after a long search on the forums, I still haven't located a resolution to. I'm familiar with includes, and have used them quite a bit with the last several webpages I've designed. However, currently I have data from an external source that I can add as an include file (the output is a text string) but the location I need to add this data is inside a variable string. As an example : PHP Code:

$display_content = "
    <tr>
        <td>blah blah</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td> [NEED INCLUDE DATA HERE] </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>blah blah</td>

Can't Output A Variable To HTML
I have this code on a page:

<p class="appTitle">

But the resulting HTML is:

<p class="appTitle">

$appTitle is a global variable which I've declared at the top of the
page in a require_once file like this:

$_GLOBALS['appTitle'] = "My App Title";

According to my debugger, $appTitle is defined with the correct value
when execution reaches that point.

I've also tried,

<?= "$appTitle" ?>

However this work fine:

<?php
$appTitle = "My app";
?>
<?= $appTitle ?>

I have a feeling the answer is something totally obvious, and I'm just

Capturing Print Output Of Function To Variable

It is currently used to print the same data table on many pages.
I have been asked to have the system send this data table by email, so
what I want to do is run the function, but send the output of the function
to a variable, in the same way that print_r($arr,1) will return the output
instead of printing it.

PHP 5 Re-assign $this PROBLEM
Just a quickie, in case it's been covered, like a million times or
something. I'm self taught, and thought I was being pretty clever when building a "messaging" class.

The idea was to abstract "html email", "text email" and "sms message" up a
layer into a "message". To get a message started, I call on something like this:

$msg = new Message("sms");
Message (which re-assigns the $this variable) then looks something like
this:

class Message{
var $message_hash;
var $message_path;//this can be changed, in case stuff is moved in future...
function ryan_Message($type=""){//starts the whole thing
switch($type){
case "html"://this means an html email
include_once("HtmlMessage.php");
$this = new HtmlMessage();
break;
case "text"://this means a text mail
include_once("TextMessage.php");
$this = new TextMessage();
break;
case "sms"://this means an sms message
include_once("SmsMessage.php");
$this = new SmsMessage();
break;
}// end switch
}// end function
}// end class

Each class has methods that are named the same, but act a little
differently, so, basically, I can use the same set of commands to compose a
message and send it, regardless of what type of message it is.

Things work fantastically under php4, but I know that when I swap over to
php5, it's going to throw a hissy fit, because reassigning $this is not
allowed.

Aside from going around the Message class, and just starting messages of a
particular type from scratch:

Is there some sort of cunning retro-fit I could do to the Message class, so
I don't have to trawl through thousands of lines of code?

How Do You Assign A Various Number Of Variables?
I'm struggeling with a small search engine here. I'm trying to put everything together myself, but I have a problem.

I've made a small form where search-words can be entered. This string is put into a variable $search. Then I've split this string up in pieces using the SPLIT command. something like this:

list ($one, $two, $three) = split ('[ ]', $search);

This works very nicely, but there is only one small problem. I can't possibly know how many search words will be used. It could be only one, but it could very be 10 or more (although unlikely). I thought about creating 10 variables, and in case they use less, they are just blank, but then if I use a OR function between these empty variables, the complete database (MySQL by the way) is called for.

I don't know if you're getting the picture, but I want to know how I can assing a number of variables not knowing the amount in advance.
