using return instead of echo in functions

  • I’m new to wordpress, and I was trying to call template functions without having them work as an echo, instead I want to call them inside a string so that I can then echo the entire string as a whole too make my life alot easier…
    Also, is there any way I can use file uploads on a windows server? I can’t change the permissions because it’s not linux, or is there any way to do this?
    Thanks so much for any help I can get on either question, and wordpress really is nice!

    hm.. I’ve already setup apache, mysql,and php by themselves, and everything runs fine, plus I have lots of extra stuff working with them, such as tomcat and jakarta, but how do you change permissions on windows? I’ve never seen anything like this, unless I’m just completely blind ??
    also… I figured out what you can use to call the functions without getting an echo, if inside the loop: $post->ID, or outside: $posts->ID
    works like a charm

    You shouldn’t have to mess with permissions on Windows, what’s up?

    oh I figured out the problem!
    on the upload settings page, it makes a path recommendation using back-slashes (\), yet when you submit, these are removed. To fix the problem I reset the path to have forward slashes (/) instead

    I figured that was where we were headed. I mentioned awhile back this might be cofusing to newbies on a Widoze box

    yeah… I feel dumb now ??
    usually I make my own systems so am not used to playing with other stuff, but I don’t have time for that any more with school and all… but wordpress seems great
