PHP Function
PHP has two types of functions PHP Built-In functions and PHP user defined functions.
In this chapter we will discuss PHP user defined functions.You can make your own functions and use them whenever and wherever you want just simple by making a function and calling that function.
Syntax of Creating a Function
function functionName()
{
Your code here;
}
/*For calling your function*/
functionName();
Example of PHP Function

{
echo "Hello PHP";
}
demo();
This will display Hello PHP.
Syntax of Function with parameters

{
echo $val1;
}
/*For calling your function*/
functionName(val);
You can send as many parameters in function as you want.
Example of PHP Function
function demo($val1)
{
echo "Here is your value ".$val1;
}
demo(10);
This will display Here is your value 10.
Example of PHP Function Return Value
function demo($val1)
{
$add=$val1+10;
return $add;
}
$val2 = demo(10);
echo "Here is your value ".$val2;
