PHP User Defined Functions

Anonymous User6847 11-Sep-2011

In this article I will show you how to create your own function. To keep the script from being executed when the page loads, you can put it into a function. A function will be executed by a call to the function. You may call a function from anywhere within a page.

Let’s we have an example, how to implement PHP functions.

Syntax:
function function_Name()
 {
   code to be executed;
 }

Note: The function name can start with a letter or underscore (not a number).

Example:Creating function with no parameter

<html>
  <head>
       <title> Function Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
                     <?php
                // Creating function with AdditionNum name for adding two integer value
                            function AdditionNum()
                            {
                               $num1  = 45;
                                  $num2  = 45;
                                  print "Addition of two number is : ".($num1+$num2);
                            }
                            
                           echo "This is function value : "."</br>";
                     // Calling function
                           AdditionNum();
                                 
       ?>
 
  </body>
 
</html>
Output:

Example:Creating function with parameter.

Let’s we have an example, how to create a function with parameter.

Syntax:
function functionName(param1, param2,...)
 {
   code to be executed;
 }
<html>
  <head>
       <title> Function with parameter</title>
  </head>
  <body>
       <?php
              functionAdditionNum($num1,$num2)
                 {
                     print "Addition of two number is : ".($num1+$num2);
                 }
                            
              echo "This is function with parameter : "."</br>";
       // Calling function
              AdditionNum(12,13);
                                 
       ?>
 
  </body>
 
</html>
Output:

Example:Function with ‘return’ statement.

Let’s we have an example, how to implement function with return type statement in PHP.

<html>
  <head>
       <title> Function with parameter</title>
  </head>
  <body>
              <?php
                     functionAddNum($num1,$num2)
                      {
                       return ($num1+$num2);
                      }
                // calling AddNum function            
                echo "Addition of(12 + 13) : ".AddNum(12,13);
            ?>
 
  </body>
 
</html>
Output:
