Function not executing

[MarcusZ]

I need some help with this one. Works fine when it's not a function but now something has happened.

send($reply);

function send($text)
{
global $text;
$url = "http://www.example.com";
$text = nl2br($text);
$text = str_replace("<br />","%0A",$text);
$text = rawurlencode($text);
$replyres = file_get_contents($url . "&text=" . $text);
}

You need to either echo $replyres or return it and assign it.

 

$replyres = send($reply);

function send($text)
{
    // this is not needed global $text;
    $url = "http://www.example.com";
    $text = nl2br($text);
    $text = str_replace("<br />","%0A",$text);
    $text = rawurlencode($text);
    return file_get_contents($url . "&text=" . $text);
}

 

Should be somewhat of what you are looking to do.

You need to declare the function before you call it.

 

function send($text)

{

global $text;

$url = "http://www.example.com";

$text = nl2br($text);

$text = str_replace("<br />","%0A",$text);

$text = rawurlencode($text);

$replyres = file_get_contents($url . "&text=" . $text);

}

send($reply);

Are you sure on that?

 

In fact, PHP parses through code first, means it loads functions no matter where they are in the code with the exception that they are not in an include file. You can place function calls anywhere you want to, as long as that function is in the current context of the code somewhere (again with the exception of being in an include).
