1. Save the script as functionsimple.php in the PHPSCRIPTS folder.

    Here's what the relevant lines in this script do:

  • function myFunction($company) {

    function is the PHP command to create a function.

    myFunction is the name of the user function.

    The variable $company is passed into the user function inside of the parentheses ( ).

  • {

    Marks the beginning of the user function.

  • print("<p>Welcome to $company</p>");

    This is what the user function does. It prints the text "Welcome to Acme Auto!" to the browser window. This is because the variable $company is given the value of "Acme Auto."

  • }

    Marks the end of the user function.
