"PHP Function"

Hey could anyone give me a small example of creating your own fucntion in PHP i've looked every where but cant find nothing...
Thanks

Couldn't find the site??

Try: http://registration.freeola.net/php/manual.html then, as Freeola have downloaded the PHP Manual, though it's not the clearest way to learn.

I found a book to be better, PHP 4 Teach yourself in 24 Hours was what did it for me :o).

perfect thanks alot i checked the php site but couldnt find it thanks again

function HelloWorld() {

echo "Hello world";

}

function coffee($name, $coffee) {
// call like any other program, eg coffee("Bob", "mocha");

echo "$name's favourite coffee is $coffee";

}

function coffee($name="Bob", $coffee="mocha") {
// sets default values, so $name contains "Bob" and $coffee contains
// "mocha", unless you define them otherwise

echo "$name's favourite coffee is $coffee";

}

?>

Of course, there's always someone who explains it better. In this case, it's the guy that wrote the manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.php#functions.user-defined

;)

function MyFirstFunction() {
print "Hello Wolrd\n";
}

MyFirstFunction();

?>

===========================================

Thats how a function would look, although you would usually have more code within it to execute.

Is this the kind of example you were after??? If not, sorry, but come back and I'll try again :o).
