Store $requirement and $equip in an array and then return the array ;

PHP Code:

$ret = array();
$ret['equip'] = $equip; 
$ret['requirement'] = $requirement; 
return $ret 


Then you can do this ;

PHP Code:

$req = requirements($id, $userid);
if($req['equip'] == true)
{
    echo '<a href="#equip....">You can equip this item</a>';
} 


(it would be better to store them in the array all through original function code, rather than just assign them at the end)
