function has correct values but seems unable to return them

[lawrence]

Here I have two functions, the first returning a value to the second.
When I put print_r() on the last line of the first function, I can see
that the correct values are in the array as expected. But when I put
print_r() in the second function, around the array supposedly returned
from the first function. I get nothing. What should I look for?

function getJustOneEntry($cbId) {

$query = $this->secure("SELECT * FROM mcContentBlocks WHERE
cbId=$cbId AND cbBelongsToWhichWebsite='$this->cbBelongsToWhichWebsite'");
$result = $this->db->query($query);

$dbArray = dbResultIntoArray($result);

if ($dbArray) $dbArray = processArray($dbArray, "stripslashes");

// 04-05-03 - I'm introducing this new $entryArray right now
tonight. From now on

// 1 dimensional returns will return a 1 dimensional array, called
$entryArray.

// $dbArray will continue to be 2 dimensional.

$entry = $dbArray[0];

print_r($entry);
return $entry;

}






function printEditUserFormForAdmin2($warning="", $entryId=0) {

// 06-23-03 - redoing this form tonight.

global $users, $sql, $forms;

$users->check("root");

// 06-23-03 - normally this forms submits and calls updateUserInDs()
to process the input, but

// if the two passwords don't match, then updateUserInDs() needs to
kick the admin back to this page,

// with a warning and the id of the entry under discussion. Thus the
parameters for this function.

if ($entryId) $cbId = $entryId;

if (!$entryId) $cbId = getGetVar("cbId");

$entry = $sql->getEntryFromDb($cbId);
echo "<hr> $entry[1] <hr>";

extract($rwArray=$sql->putEntryInNamedArray($entry));

startPage($warning);

startForm("Edit a users name, password, or permissions here:");

$forms->text("Enter a name for this user:", "newUserName",
$newUserName);

$forms->text("Optional: What is this users email address?",
"cbEmail", $cbEmail);

$forms->password("Enter a password:", "cbPassword1", $cbPassword);

$forms->password("Enter the same password again:", "cbPassword2",
$cbPassword);

$forms->text("What permission should this user have? The options are
'basic', 'verified', 'associate', and 'root'. You're insane if you
give 'root' to anyone you don't totally trust.",
"cbUserSecurityLevel", $cbUserSecurityLevel);

$forms->output("n");

endForm("updateUserInDsForAdmin", "cbId", $cbId);

endPage();

}

In the code you posted, the the second functions never calls print_r nor
does it call the first function. Did you copy the right pair of functions?

After I went home for dinner it occured to me that I was using an
alias and the alias could be faulty. I'd ruled that possibility out in
my head, because I was certain I'd used the alias before. But
apparently not. Sure enough, this morning I check, and the alias
wasn't returning anything. The corrected alias looks like this:


function getEntryFromDb($cbId) {
// 07-15-03 - alias of above
$entry = $this->getJustOneEntry($cbId);
return $entry;
}
