[RESOLVED] Putting php code from outside, inside a function

[hatching]

How can I add the preg_match inside the function right after the $sentence?

<?php
$name = 'Tom';
$age = '34';

preg_match("/Hi(.+) and/", $sentence , $source);

$source = $source[1];

include('functions.php');


//functions.php
function check($name,$age)
{
    $sentence = "Hi, my name is ".$name." and I'm ".$age;

#Have the preg_match here

echo $source;

}
?>

1. by copying it in

or

2. by putting it inside another function so its callable.

Thanks, I've been creating an extra function for the preg_match and not calling it properly.
