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 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);

Capturing Print Output Of Function To Variable
I have a function, say: function printTable($Variables) { ?> <table> <tr><td>Your name is</td></tr> <tr><td> <?php print $Name; print "</td></tr></table>"; } (Obviously not my exact function, but a simple one to demonstrate my needs... The function I have inherited is much bigger with much mixed php and html like the example) It is currently used to print the same data table on many pages. I have been asked to have the system send this data table by email, so what I want to do is run the function, but send the output of the function to a variable, in the same way that print_r($arr,1) will return the output instead of printing it.

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.

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> </tr>"; ..........................

Can't Output A Variable To HTML
I have this code on a page: <p class="appTitle"> <?php echo "$appTitle"; ?> </p> But the resulting HTML is: <p class="appTitle"> </p> $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 not seeing it.

Output Format For A Timestamp Date Variable

If I say [echo $lastdate] I get the output I'd expect - 20060424221549 which is a YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format. I'd like to be able to display that using a format of mm/dd/yy with no leading spaces on the month and day. I don't know what the php command is to do this. In other words, I'm trying to display a variable - $lastdate - formatted a certain way. I know that the formatting string n/j/y will get my output looking as I'd like, but I can't figure out how to apply that to my variable.

Php Function To Read Local Python Script Output, Not Code
On my server python has to run in the wwwroot/cgi-bin folder, but php can run anywhere. My site is going to be written in python but I don’t want my user to see the url as mysite/cgi-bin/... . So for example my homepage, index.php should contain a simple php script that will get my python page from the cgi-bin directory and display it. However when I try to use SSI or fopen/file_get_contents/readlink and commands like these it just displays the python code. Where as when I visit the python page in my browser it runs it and displays the output for me. My question is what php function can I use to execute my python page and return the output, not the code itself. (I think my hosting provider has disallowed certain powerful commands like system() etc. Does this make it impossible?). As the very least can’t my php script pretend to be a www user and ‘visit’ the python page to read the output?
