[quote author="kgill" date="1236073043"]Honestly, if you're having to ask something as basic as why a function that's missing a return doesn't work, you need to go and learn the basics of PHP & coding first. Jumping in and working on OOP, MVC, and frameworks is fine but without understanding the fundamentals behind it all you're doing yourself a serious disservice.[/quote]

Probably you are right. But what's wrong with learning for a hobby purpose? I learned PHP on a practical rather that a theoratic point of view. (in my old-fashioned 'ad-hoc' PHP programming style i actualy never used the RETURN function), may sound stupid. But now i'm starting to learn those (time-saving) fundamentals an basics so i can bring it a step further.

And i know, it's best to first learn the fundamentals FIRST (i should have learned a few years ago). But this requires some serious concentration, that's my problem.
