if($user = null)
$deleted = "deleted";
}

Then when the function is called username($username); I can echo $deleted? Is something like this at all possible? My tests show the above wouldn't work.

You could declare $deleted outside the function and then get access to it inside a function with the global keyword.

Not that I'm saying that's a good idea or anything.
