Question

Hey guys really quick question, I have a simple test that I was doing to prove a point and it does not work like I expected but I am not sure why it does not work.

function test(){
    echo 'test';
}

if (test()){
    echo 'ok';
}

That was my test. ‘ok’ is not echoed and I am not sure why. I was testing this because my real code is calling a class method and is also not working.

if($database->addNewUser($user, md5($pass), $userfile, $email, $age)){
    return 0;  //New user added succesfully
}

The method addNewUser executes and does what it should, but the return 0; does not. Anyone have any insight into this?

Answer 1

Because your test function is ECHOING not returning..

function test(){
   return true; // what to send back
}

if (test()){ // true was sent back, so.
    echo 'ok';
}

will echo ‘ok’.

look at $database->addNewUser() – what’s it returning ?
