Integrating Validation Errors - Reviewing PHP Basics 2/3 [RESOLVED]

The flavor.php include file contains a function named get_flavor. That function receives no arguments, and it returns a piece of text as its return value. Call that function and assign the return value to a variable named flavor.

I've tried this a lot of ways but I'm still not getting it?

<?php
include ('flavor.php');

function get_flavor() {
return get_flavor = $flavor;
};

echo "Randy's favorite flavor of ice cream is ____.";

?>

You don't need to create the function. The function already exists in the other include file. You just need to call the function here and load the return value into a variable.

Does that help?

Hey Rossouw,

You don't need to create the function. The function already exists in the other include file. You just need to call the function here and load the return value into a variable. I posted an example in another thread:
