so you want
$lookuptable=setCurrentDevGroup($devID);
switch($lookuptable) { ...

This is the function which should return e.g. "printers" for

$devID)"; $sth = $adb->prepare($query);
if($sth)

$res = $sth->execute();
$resulttable = $sth->fetchrow_hash();
$lookuptable = $resulttable["dev_group"];
// DEBUG
echo $lookuptable; // this give the correct value
So here $lookuptable contains the correct value (eg "printers") ??
Correct. At this point $lookuptable contains the value of dev_group.
}
return $lookuptable;
}
But something like:
echo setCurrentDevGroup($devID);
That gives the correct value as well. But I wanted it as a variable
($lookuptable) ...
What I am trying to do is:
setCurrentDevGroup($this->Computer); // call function and get a device group
switch ($lookuptable) {
case "computers":
bla bla bla
case "printers":
yada yada yada
}
However, getting the inspired moment from your post, I tried
switch (setCurrentDevGroup($this->Computer)) {
case "computers":
bla bla bla
case "printers":
yada yada yada
}
And now this part works at least.
My understanding was that the function would return a value for $lookuptable
which was useable in the code above. This is incorrect then?
