    Functions - Return values

    Create a PHP Function A function will be executed by a call to the function. Syntax function functionName() { code to be executed; } Example A simple function that writes my name when it is called: <html> <body> <?php function writeName() { echo "Ashwini"; } echo "My name is "; writeName(); ?> </body> </html>

    Output: My name is Ashwini

    PHP Functions - Adding parameters To add more functionality to a function, we can add parameters. A parameter is just like a variable. Parameters are specified after the function name, inside the parentheses. Example 1 The following example will write different first names, but equal last name: <html> <body> <?php function writeName($lname) { echo $lname . " z.<br />"; } echo "My name is "; writeName("a"); echo "My sister's name is "; writeName("b"); echo "My brother's name is "; writeName("c"); ?> </body> </html> Output:

    My name is a z. My sister's name is b z. My brother's name is c z. Example 2 The following function has two parameters: <html> <body> <?php function writeName($lname,$punctuation) { echo $lname . " z" . $punctuation . "<br />"; } echo "My name is "; writeName("a","."); echo "My sister's name is "; writeName("b","!"); echo "My brother's name is "; writeName("c","?"); ?> </body> </html> Output: My name is a z. My sister's name is b z! My brother's name is c z?

    PHP Functions - Return values To let a function return a value, use the return statement.

    Example <html> <body> <?php function add($x,$y) { $total=$x+$y; return $total; } echo "1 + 16 = " . add(1,16); ?> </body> </html> Output: 1 + 16 = 17
