Hi all,

i try to get a string back from a function.
But i get a "tag mismatch Error".

PHP Code:

get_test()
{
    new String:test[64];
    test = "TERRORIST";
    return test;
}

new String:result[64];
result = get_test(); 


Any Ideas how i solve my problem?

Arrays cannot be returned.

If you want a function to return a string, you pass the string buffer to the function and its length.

PHP Code:

get_test(String:buffer[], len)
{
    Format(buffer, len, "TERRORIST");
    return;
}

new String:result[64];
get_test(result, 64);

Arrays can be returned if it's not a public function. His problem was that he was missing String: at the beginning of get_test

You never return local function arrays.

You can. Arrays can be returned in non-public functions.

You can, but you shouldn't.

Why not? It's perfectly safe.
