Return Array From Function


I want a function that is able to return a array. But the php-manual says that you can’t.
Ex. of what I want:

function arrFunc()
{
$returarray = array(“some”,”arrray”,”stuff”);
return($returarray);}

Return Array From A Function..
I have a function which querys MySQL table i have implemented. I used to have it all in the html page however decided to make my code better and continue learning by writing this as a seperate function with parameters passed into it, and then calling the function from the html page.

The issue here however is while the function works, when i want to display parts of the data at a later stage in html page it does not work.

The code that fetches the values for displaying is in the function. While i am trying to display the info in the array inside the html page within tables.

I presume its because my function does query and then does this

$data = mysql_fetch_array( $sql ); //all inside the seperate function

and then i have to return $data as a means of passing it into the HTML page when i call the function. Therefore when i am inside the html page there is actually a $data that exists??

That is what i have deduced as being the problem however i can seem to find out how to return this $data or catch it in the html page!

Attempting To Return Values From Array From W/in A Function
I am attempting to read through a text file & then update an HTML page
table w/ the output from the text file (ie; statusing by table).

What I want the code to do is read through the file, look for a line
that matches a couple of strings, next is loop through the file from
that match to 30 lines searching for a "score" from, then store that
score; and then look for the next algorithm (8 of them) run & score.

What I get is an array w/ only the most recent array entry.

I have tried several things; return(), array_push(), php manual, and a
more than a few days searching online for a similar example.

Code example below;

function fraction_0($file,$log) {
while (! feof($file)) {
$line = fgets($file,512);
if (ereg($_GET[what],$line) && ereg("_A_0",$line) &&
ereg("Request ID",$line)) {
print ("$log".htmlspecialchars($line)."<BR>");
for ($i30 = 1; $i30 < 30; $i30++){
$line = fgets($file,512);
if (!ereg("returned best solution",$line)){
if (ereg("Score from run", $line)){
print ("$log".htmlspecialchars($line)."<BR>");
$alg_score = explode(" ", $line, 512);
if (ereg($alg_score[6], 1)) {
$alg_array = array("alg0_1" =$alg_score[8]);
print "score for alg 1 is $alg_array[alg0_1]<BR>";
}elseif (ereg($alg_score[6], 2)) {
$alg_array = array("alg0_2" =$alg_score[8]);
} elseif (ereg($alg_score[6], 3)) {
$alg_array = array("alg0_3" =$alg_score[8]);
} elseif (ereg($alg_score[6], 4)) {
$alg_array = array("alg0_4" =$alg_score[8]);
} elseif (ereg($alg_score[6], 5)) {
$alg_array = array("alg0_5" =$alg_score[8]);
} elseif (ereg($alg_score[6], 6)) {
$alg_array = array("alg0_6" =$alg_score[8]);
} elseif (ereg($alg_score[6], 7)) {
$alg_array = array("alg0_7" =$alg_score[8]);
} elseif (ereg($alg_score[6], 8)) {
$alg_array = array("alg0_8" =$alg_score[8]);
}
print "<table border="1"><tr><th>Alg 1</th><th>Alg 2</
th><th>Alg 3</th><th>Alg 4</th><th>Alg 5</th><th>Alg 6</th><th>Alg 7</

How To Return An Image From A Function?
Currently i have a script that creates an array of data points. This array is then sent to a function to create a graph of the points in the array. My problem is this:

If i use the script as a php script on its own it will create the graph and i can display it using <img src= blah.php>.
However, i changed this so the graph script was a function but this outputs the jpeg code for the graph rather than the pic of the graph. i am putting this down to the fact that php cannot use embedded graphics (hence the reason i used <img src>).

So, i know the code actually creates the graph but i cannot figure out how to return the image to the main script to display the graph.

$pic = imagejpeg($image);
return($pic);

ie, create the pic and save it as a variable to be returned and then displayed...doesnt work!

i have also tried returning $image and then using imagejpeg($image) in the main script...which obviously doesnt work either. I have tried a couple of other things as well but they were equally unsuccesful. I reckon all this is probably as clear as mud so if any clarification is needed please ask!!

will add another array entry even if the function returns nothing, so
your end test is always true. Recode.

Return Row # With Each Array Value?
Does anyone know how to output an array from a MySQL query, but tack on an incremental value to the end of each variable that represents the row number? I'm looking for something like this:

// query stuff here
// Now I output the query result:
while ($fetch = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "&quoteBody(CURRENT ROW NUMBER)=".$fetch["quoteBody"]."&quoteDate(CURRENT ROW NUMBER)=".$fetch["quoteDate"]."&quoteWriter(CURRENT ROW NUMBER)=".$fetch["quoteWriter"]."";}

Of course the (CURRENT ROW NUMBER) references are what I'm looking for. The way I have it now, PHP outputs an ampersand-delimited string representing all fields in the database. Output looks like this now:

&quoteBody=This is the body of the quote&quoteDate=08/11/01&quoteWriter=Mike&

Return A Variable From Class Function

This function is inside a class called db_connect.  The function is
function db_qry($qry, $type, $from="") {

As the function shows, if the query fails, it is directed to the goError() function where it prints an error message. The problem is that some instances, I want it to instead return a variable back out of the function. The variable holds some information so I can print out the error message later in the page. In this case, it should return a variable indicating whether the query succeeded. That variable will be used in the following part: Code:

How To Return A 'sub-array' Of A Multidimensional One
I have a multi-dimensional associative array, and I'm interested in searching the array for a given key, and returning the 'sub-array' or value associated with this key. for example:

Code: $array = array( 'A'=>1, 'B'=>2,
'C'=>ARRAY( 'A2' => 'FRUIT', 'B2' => 'VEGGIE',
'C2' => ARRAY( 'MEAT1' => 'BEEF', 'MEAT2' => 'CHICKEN' ) ) );

I want to retrieve the array under the key 'C2'. I have tried to 'search' the array so that its internal pointer is pointing at this element, then using 'current', but that doens't work: Code:

array_key_exists( 'C2', $array );
var_dump( current( $array ) );

I've also tried a small variation of the above in order to get the reference to C2 rather than a deep copy: Code:

array_key_exists( 'C2', $array );
var_dump( $array[key($array)] );

I would actually prefer to get a reference into the array rather than a copy.. I guess I'm really stuck on the 'search' part of the mutlidimensional array.. Surely there's a better way (built-in function) than iterating every element and comparing the key?
