-Function- problem- uber newbie

Ammar

At the end of one of the chapter of my book there is an exercise which tells me to:

Create a function that accepts four string variables and returns a string that contains an HTML table element, enclosing each of the variables in its own cell.

-this will probably take somebody experienced a couple of minutes to make and explain briefly..help would be MUCH APPRECIATED, thanks.
This is the mess that I've got so far :

<?php
$var1 = one;
$var2 = two;
$var3 = three;
$var4 = four;
function mytable( $txt ) {
print ("<table><tr><td>$var1</td>, <td>$var2</td>, <td>$var3</td>, <td>$var4</td></tr></table>");
}

?>
</div>

Well, you need accept 4 strings in your function, so your function declaration needs 4 variables:

function mytable($var1, $var2, $var3, $var4) {

Now you need to output a table with each of those text items in a column. You had that part correct!! 🙂

print ("<table><tr><td>$var1</td>, <td>$var2</td>, <td>$var3</td>, <td>$var4</td></tr></table>");
}

THe last thing you need to do is actually call your function:

mytable($var1, $var2, $var3, $var4);

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot. That worked. And I'm glad I wasn't completely off with everything🙂
