Make your own function

Right first off we do this:


I will call my function "TextDisplay", you can call yours Chimpanzee for all i care :P


PHP Code
1
2
3
4
5
6
<?
function TextDisplay() {
print 
"Text Goes Here";
}
?>


That basically defines what the function actually is and does, and it does not display anything at the moment.

To call that function you would SIMPLY need to put

PHP Code
1
2
TextDisplay();


So the end script would look like this:

PHP Code
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
<?
function TextDisplay() {
print 
"Text Goes Here";
}

TextDisplay();
?>

i tried this on mine and figured out i have a global php include and it failed epically.

But, yeah might be your server though i'm not totally sure.

its the same as what the tut says, i wanted to play around with it but even that doesnt work.. only time it works is if i put it all together.. rather then just the funcation and call it somewhere else on that page.

did you use the right function name? was it meant to return something or print some text? do you have to fill in for a variable for it to print? xP
