PHP Functions



In average PHP has more than 1000 built-in function; function are vital thing that gets PHP the real power. Beside 1000 + functions we also can create our own functions using logics. Functions are the block of statements that can be used multiple times in a program. they do not execute until they are called. A function name can be declared with a letter or underscore but not a number.

Uses of PHP functions

They are used to make a program run conveniently and error free.Function has different scope in PHP programming. All logic can be implemented using function, complex outputs are simply programmed with in a function etc.

Syntax:
 functionfunctionName() {  
   code to be executed;  
 }  


Example:

PHP Script (function.php)
 <!DOCTYPE html>  
 <html lang="en">  
 <head>  
 <meta charset="UTF-8"/>  
 <title>Nirajan Ghimirey's Workshop</title>  
 </head>  
 <body>  
 <?php  
 //Example of Function  
 function message(){  
   echo "Welcome to Nirajan Ghimirey's Workshopl<br/>";  
 }  
 //Example of function with arguments  
 function courses($name,$desc){  
   echo $name."=". $desc."<br/>";  
 }  
 //Example of default function  
 functiondefalultMessage($view=100){  
   echo "Viewer = ".$view."<br/>";  
 }  
 //Example of function with return value  
 function returnValue($value1,$value2){  
   $value3=$value1+$value2;  
   return $value3;  
 }  
 //function call  
 message();
