If you want values calculated in the function to be available after, you'd probably want to do this by returning them.

then you'll have

PHP Code:

function foo()
{
global $DB_site, $bbuserinfo;
$fooreturn = $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'];

return $fooreturn;
} 


You'd then use it like this:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == "foo-it")
{

$foooutput = foo();
echo $foooutput;
} 


If you want to return multiple values, return an array.
