So, I've been reading up on Functions and I like them! However, I need some help using variables in functions, since it's kind of confusing.
I just made these functions:
<?php
function Protect($var){
$var = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities(stripslashes($var)));
}
function Preserve($var){
$content = nl2br(str_replace(" ", " ", $var));
}
?>
Neither of them work. Dunno why.
From what I understand...
If I do this:
function HelloThere($var){
Then when I use the function I can go...
HelloThere($hello);
And the $hello variable will be substituted for $var from when I defined the function. Am I not right, confusing, or misled? Please help!!!
Thanks.
PS I originally had this, but it didn't work:
<?php
function Protect($var){
$variable = $var;
$protect1 = mysql_real_escape_string($variable);
$protect2 = htmlentities($protect1);
$protect3 = stripslashes($protect2);
}
function Preserve($var){
$content = nl2br(str_replace(" ", " ", $var));
}
?>
