functions problem..

hey'all

I'm in a dilly of a pickle with this one!! Any help's much appreciated!

The screnario...

I have a page where I include my "functions.php" page. Functions.php contains all my... you guessed it.. functions..!!
one such eample would be:

PHP Code:


		
			
function do_rename($path,$filename)

{

get_vars();

//rename the file

echo $success;

}

now, $success is part of another function called "get_vars()". That looks like:

PHP Code:


		
			
function get_vars()

{

$success = "<table>";

$success .= "<tr>";

//etc etc

$success .= "</table>";

}

now... why when I display the first function, do_rename, does it not display the contents of $success... cos I have called the function (get_vars) so I thought that would work!

Any ideas??!!

Cheers!
