PHP functions are groups of named code which we can call from anywhere within the program.

In this video we cover basic syntax for creating PHP functions as well as some advanced techniques like passing arguments by reference and using recursive functions.

We also go over data type declarations, default argument values and variable scope. Learning the techniques from this video will give you a good understanding of PHP functions.

The different colors makes so much of a difference in your videos! It aids the learning process. Great video!

[filipandonov]

Great video man! You have covered 10 pages from my PHP book in a very good and understanding way! Keep uploading tutorials!

[jfritz]

Good stuff. As a couple of others have noted, he mixes up parameters and arguments.

[CodeZealot]

Parameters and arguments are reversed definitions

[mek]

the parameters should be in the function definition and the arguments in the call

[elmerchatto]

Thank you so much. In your video i totally understand the flow of functions.

[malyricstreve]

i am a beginner but your parameters and arguments are swapped around!!
guess i am no longer a beginner

Which text editor are you using? There is an area on the right side that looks like a browser. I don't get it. Is it the part of a browser or has the editor the server simulation?

[sekoujabateh]

Can I have a function in php which would take an argument and return a value? Just like in java (for example if I type "$a=function(arg1, arg2);" variable "a" would be assigned with a value the function returned. Or it's not possible? If no, how can I approach this problem if I need to store and later manipulate the value which is calculated by calling a function?
EDIT: nevermind, I figured, that a simple "return $var" at the end of the code does it.
