Few Questions on functions

[Danny620]

i am thinking of making a few functions to make life easiser thing is i want to know a few things

 

say i was making a function called viewprofile this would need a $dbc & a user id would i

say

 

include the file in the function for database connections or pass it as a par  say

 

function viewprofile(){

 

include('datbase.php');

 

then use that like to do searches and things or

 

}

 

include('datbase.php');

 

then create function

 

function viewprofile($dbc,$id){

 

}

second way.. globals and other methods are really outdated and lame looking to say the least

[Danny620]

so which way should i take the include inside the function or pass it as a par

[TeNDoLLA]

As RussellReal said, like you have done in the second example. Also I don't think a function dependant on includes is very good idea.

[Danny620]

include('datbase.php');

 

then create function

 

function viewprofile($dbc,$id){

 

}

 

that way

Yes.
