Return Statement 1

[Fayeby]

I have been told that I can use a return statement to return to page from and if statement. But i just keep getting premature end of script headers.

Can anyone offer a solution as I only need the if part of the statement and then I want to get out of it.

Cheers Faye

if ($DBI::err) {
$TABLE_OUTPUT .= &quot;<table border=\&quot;10\&quot; height=\&quot;34\&quot;>\n&quot;;

$TABLE_OUTPUT .= &quot;<TR>\n&quot;;
$TABLE_OUTPUT .= &quot;<TD> ERROR - Unable to create Environment</td>\n&quot;;
$TABLE_OUTPUT .= &quot;</TR>\n&quot;;
$TABLE_OUTPUT .= &quot;</table>\n&quot;;

}
else

{
return ????????????????????????????????????????????????;
}

Return is used primarily to return a value to the calling function, not to return to a page. In your case, you only want to show an error when the &quot;if&quot; condition is true, so you don't need the &quot;else&quot; statement.

There's always a better way...

Thanks - simple when you know how isn't?
