maybe if you tell us what errors you are getting.

also, does your function return a value?
that function should have a return statement that returns whatever it is that you want to be printed in that string.

This is my function:

function greetings(){
$agora = getdate();
if(( $agora["hours"] > 13 ) and ( $agora["hours"] < 19 ) )
{
$mensagem = "Boa tarde";
}
if ( ( $agora["hours"] > 18 ) and ( $agora["hours"] < 06 ) )
{
$mensagem = "Boa noite";
}
if ( ( $agora["hours"] > 06 ) and ( $agora["hours"] < 13 ) )
{
$mensagem = "Bom dia";
}
echo $mensagem;
}

please read about using vbcode in the forums before you post your code.

as for the problem, your function should not be echoing anything. when it is done it should do a return($mensagem);

what you're doing amounts to writing:

print "this and that " . echo "and the other thing";

Thank´s for the tip.
I just assign variables to the values i want to be echoing

print("<div class=\"nome\">");
$texto = saudacoes();
$usuario = ucwords($_SESSION['nome']);
print "$texto ";
print ("$usuario");
print ("</div>");

Cheers
