Undefined variable

[SP8600]

Can anyone see why i am getting this error Notice: Undefined variable: dateFormat in D:\wwwroot\Sites\javelindesign\incs\settings.php on line 8 for all 3 $dateFormat IF statements yet they are defined

//Date format
function addDate() {
	if ($dateFormat == "1") {$date = date("F jS Y"); 		/*Format: January 1st 2003*/ }
	if ($dateFormat == "2") {$date = date("l jS of F Y");	/*Format: Monday 1st of January 2003*/ }
	if ($dateFormat == "3") {$date = date("F j, Y, g:ia");	/*Format: January 1, 2003, 2:00pm*/ }
}

Well since it is a function and no variables titled $dateFormat have been passed into it, they don't really "exist" during the functions execution. Try having $dateFormat passed into the function and see what happens.
