JD,
This is how you would do it:
<?
$ab = add($a,$b);
echo"$ab";
?>
- or you could do it directly like this -
<?
echo add($a,$b);
?>
- or my personal preference -
<?=add($a,$b)?>
===============
<?
function add($a,$b)
{
$ab =$a+$b;
return $ab;
}
?>
A quick read of the section on functions in the online manual would be a
great resource. In fact, I recommend checking the manual before posting to
this list. It's a great tool and contains user comments. Chances are that
if you have a problem, someone else has already run into it and posted the
solution in the manual. Here's a link:

Jason Cox
