Creating a function

[bunka]

I know this is kind of basic, but I am looking for a simple way to include a big piece of code several times. How would I create my own function? (examples are nice too🙂)

<?php
echo my_string("just testing");

function my_string($string) {
return("you passed $string");
}
?>

you can also do recursive stuff like this:

<?php
print_all_numbers_below(10);

function print_all_numbers_below($number) {
echo $number."\n";
if($number) print_all_numbers_below($number - 1);
}
?>

that should print out
10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
unless i really screwed something up.

from there you should be able to get started
