    FUNCTIONS

    WHAT IS PHP FUNCTION?


    A function is a block of code that can be executed whenever we need it.

    CREATING PHP FUNCTIONS


    Creating PHP functions:
    All functions start with the word "function()" Name the function - It should be possible to understand what the function does by its name. The name can start with a letter or underscore (not a number) Add a "{" - The function code starts after the opening curly brace Insert the function code Add a "}" - The function is finished by a closing curly brace

    EXAMPLE
    A simple function that writes my name when it is called:
    <html> <body> <?php function writeMyName() { echo "Kai Jim Refsnes"; } writeMyName(); ?> </body> </html>

    USE A PHP FUNCTION


    <html> <body> <?php function writeMyName() { echo Dollah"; } echo "Hello world!<br />"; echo "My name is "; writeMyName(); echo ".<br />That's right, "; writeMyName(); echo " is my name."; ?> </body> </html>

    OUTPUT
    Hello world! My name is Dollah. That's right, Dollah is my name.

    ADDING PARAMETERS
    Our first function (writeMyName()) is a very simple function. It only writes a static string. To add more functionality to a function, we can add parameters. A parameter is just like a variable. You may have noticed the parentheses after the function name, like: writeMyName(). The parameters are specified inside the parentheses.

    EXAMPLE
    The following example will write different first names, but the same last name:
    <html> <body> <?php function writeMyName($fname) { echo $fname . " Ismail.<br />"; } echo "My name is ";writeMyName(Roslinda"); echo "My name is ";writeMyName(Rosliani"); echo "My name is ";writeMyName(Roslaili"); echo "My name is ";writeMyName(Rostam"); ?> </body> </html>

    OUTPUT

    My My My My

    name name name name

    is is is is

    Roslinda Abdullah. Rosliani Abdullah. Roslaili Abdullah. Rostam Abdullah.

    EXAMPLE ADDING TWO(2) PARAMETERS


    <html> <body> <?php function writeMyName($fname,$punctuation) { echo $fname . " Abdullah" . $punctuation . "<br />"; } echo "My name is ";writeMyName("Munirah","."); echo "My name is ";writeMyName("Mahirah","!"); echo "My name is ";writeMyName("Mardhiah","..."); echo "My name is ";writeMyName("Masturah", "!.."); echo "My name is ";writeMyName("Muhammad Zaim", "??"); ?> </body> </html>

    OUTPUT

    My My My My My

    name name name name name

    is is is is is

    Munirah Abdullah. Mahirah Abdullah! Mardhiah Abdullah... Masturah Abdullah!.. Muhammad Zaim Abdullah??

    RETURN VALUES
    <html> <body> <?php function add($x,$y) { $total = $x + $y; return $total; } echo "1 + 16 = " . add(1,16) ?> </body> </html>

    1 + 16 = 17

    Output
