[SOLVED] help with functions

[Archadian]

Could anyone explain what the arguements inside the () of the function name means? I've read tutorials and im just not getting it lol. Thanks

 

ex: function test(arg1, arg2) {}

when you write a function you want to pass it some information to work with, lets start with a simple function

<?php

function addNumbers($arg1, $arg2)
{
$answer = $arg1 + $arg2;
return $answer;
}

//run this function

echo addNumbers(3,4); //would print out 7
?>

 

 

edit: hopefully didnt simplify it too much....
