return value with function

[Orasion]

Hi all,

 

can you give me suggestion how to return value from function like this

 

function returnArray(){
for($i=1; $i<=3; $i++){
	return $i; //how to return this as array??
}
}

 

when I code "echo" inside the function then call the function it give me output => 123

but when I code "return" inside the function, it will give output => 1

Can you suggest me how to output it as array?

In your example $i isn't an array.

 

function returnArray() {
        $foo = array();
for($i=1; $i<=3; $i++){
	return $foo[] = i;
}
        return $foo;
}

 

Will return an array containing the number 1 - 3. Of course you could more easily achieve the same result by using:

 

$foo = range(1,3);

I change my function like you suggest

 

function returnArray(){
$foo = array();
for($i=1; $i<=3; $i++){									
	return $foo[] = $i;
}
return $foo;
}

 

when I print_r it, it just give me output -> "1" just like before

:confused:

There is a typo in my reply, should be:

 

function returnArray(){
$foo = array();
for($i=1; $i<=3; $i++){									
	$foo[] = $i;
}
return $foo;
}

 

Note you don't want to call return part why through the loop.
