view table function

[James_G]

hi...i'm new at all this php stuff. I have managed to make a page that will access my database and allow me to sort stuff by columns. I've just been reading up about functions and have realised that if this page was a function I could use it for any table. Here are the parameters I pass into the script:

$table = 'artist';
$default_sort = 'artist_id';
$allowed_order = array ('artist_id', 'artist_name','artist_notes');

What would I have to do to make this code into a function ? I've figured it involves declaring the function and sending these variables (or the ones for a table I want) to the function. Any tips on how to achieve this ? Thanks 🙂

I have tried to call the function using:

include "viewtable.php";
$table = 'artist';
$default_sort = 'artist_id';
$allowed_order = array ('artist_id', 'artist_name','artist_notes');
viewtable ($table, $default_sort, $allowed_order);
?>

with the function defined as:

Function viewtable($table,$default_sort,$allowed_order)

{
in viewtable.php

but i get a 'call to undefined function' error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
