Setting a variable's value directly from a function

<?
        function reg_valid_email(){
        if (isset($_POST['register_form_email'])) {
            global $mysqli;
            return $mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['register_form_email']);
        }
    }

    $email->reg_valid_email();
?>

Trying to set the value of a function, using the return of a function, but I get error -> Call to a member function reg_valid_email() on string. I'm doing this for first time, so I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure out what is it. // $mysqli is my connection to db

you can use if ou want to store the function return 

 $email=eg_valid_email();
 if($email!=NULL)
 {

The variable $email must be an object of a class in which the function reg_valid_email needs to be defined. But since your code snippet has not mentioned any class, just call your function reg_valid_email like below without the $email:

reg_valid_email();
