[RESOLVED] Functions aren't outputting anything

[tkruise]

	<?php

date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo');
$lists = array(
   "drugstores" => array('Santa Lúcia', 'Drogathermas', 'Drogacentro', 'Drogaria Rosario'),
   "fastfoods" => array('Mcdonald\'s', 'Habib\'s', 'Burger King', 'Bob\'s')
   				);
$hour = date('H:i:s');

$_1person = 'Willian';
$_2person = 'Alex';    
$_1personage = 18;
$_2personage = 20;


	echo "Right now the clock ticks with $hour";

	//functions

	//1st person
	function whage1( $_1person, $_1personage ){
		if( $_1personage =< 18 ) {
				echo $_1person. " is going to ". $lists['drugstore'][0];
		}elseif($_1personage > 18 ) {
			echo "$_1person is going to" . $lists['drugstore'][0];
			}
															}

		//2nd person
		function whage2( $_2person, $_2personage ){
			if( $_2personage =< 19 ) {
			echo "$_2person is going to" . $lists['fastfoods'][0];
		}elseif( $_2personage >= 20 ) {
			echo "$_2person is going to" . . $lists['fastfoods'][1];
			}
			}


			whage1(Marcos, 14);
			echo "\n<br>";
			whage2(Mary, 21);
			echo "\n<br>";

whatever happened to sociability and politeness ?

ya know : "hi", "hello", "please" ... that kind of thing

have you tried it like this

echo $_1person." is going to ".$lists["drugstores"][0]."!";

Sorry dude!
Hello mateys! 🙂

Yea I tried like that before aswell, got WSOD..

[steamPunk]

shouldn't this be

 whage1("Marcos", 14);

[steamPunk]

is seems that the main problem was that you weren't sending your array as an argument into the functions :

<?php

date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo');
$lists = array(
  "drugstores" => array("Santa Lúcia", "Drogathermas", "Drogacentro", "Drogaria Rosario"),
  "fastfoods" => array("Mcdonald's", "Habib's", "Burger King", "Bob's")
);


$hour = date("H:i:s");

$person1 = 'Willian';
$person2 = 'Alex';    
$personage1 = 18;
$personage2 = 20;


    echo "Right now the clock ticks with ".$hour."<br />";

    //functions

    //1st person
    function whage1( $person1, $personage1, $lists ){            
        $str = "";
        if( $personage1 <= 18 ) {
            $str = $person1." is going to ".$lists["drugstores"][0];
        }else{
            $str = $person1." is going to ".$lists["drugstores"][1];
        }
        return $str;
    }

    //2nd person
      function whage2( $person2, $personage2, $lists ){
        $str = "";
        if( $personage2 <= 19 ) {
            $str = $person2." is going to ".$lists["fastfoods"][0];
        }else{
            $str = $person2." is going to ".$lists["fastfoods"][1];
        }
        return $str;
      }


      echo whage1($person1, $personage1, $lists)."\n<br>";
      echo whage2($person2, $personage2, $lists)."\n<br>";

?>

and you could avoid repeating code like this

          

function whage( $person, $age, $lists, $minAge, $cat){
            $str = "";
            if( $age <= $minAge ) {
                $str = $person." is going to ".$lists[$cat][0];
            }else{
                $str = $person." is going to ".$lists[$cat][1];
            }
            return $str;
          }

      echo whage($person1, $personage1, $lists, 18, "drugstores")."\n<br>";
      echo whage($person1, $personage1, $lists, 19, "fastfoods")."\n<br>";

or even

          

function whage( $person, $age, $lists, $minAge, $cat){
            $str = "";
            if( $age <= $minAge ) {
                $m = $lists[$cat][0];
            }else{
                $m = $lists[$cat][1];
            }
            $str = $person." is going to ".$m."\n<br>";
            return $str;
          }

      echo whage($person1, $personage1, $lists, 18, "drugstores");
      echo whage($person2, $personage2, $lists, 19, "fastfoods");
