PHP Parameterized functions are the functions with parameters. You can pass any number of parameters inside a function. These passed parameters act as variables inside your function.

They are specified inside the parentheses, after the function name.

The output depends upon the dynamic values passed as the parameters into the function.


PHP Parameterized Example 1

Addition and Subtraction

In this example, we have passed two parameters $x and $y inside two functions add() and sub().

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Parameter Addition and Subtraction Example</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

//Adding two numbers

function add($x$y) {

$sum = $x + $y;

echo “Sum of two numbers is = $sum <br><br>”;

}

add(467, 943);

//Subtracting two numbers

function sub($x$y) {

$diff = $x – $y;

echo “Difference between two numbers is = $diff”;

}

sub(943, 467);

?>

</body>

</html>

Output:

PHP Parametrized function 1


PHP Parameterized Example 2

Addition and Subtraction with Dynamic number

In this example, we have passed two parameters $x and $y inside two functions add() and sub().

 <?php
//add() function with two parameter
function add($x,$y)
{
$sum=$x+$y;
echo “Sum = $sum <br><br>”;
}
//sub() function with two parameter
function sub($x,$y)
{
$sub=$x$y;
echo “Diff = $sub <br><br>”;
}
//call function, get  two argument through input box and click on add or sub button
if(isset($_POST[‘add’]))
{
//call add() function
 add($_POST[‘first’],$_POST[‘second’]);
}
if(isset($_POST[‘sub’]))
{
//call add() function
sub($_POST[‘first’],$_POST[‘second’]);
}
?>
<form method=“post”>
Enter first number: <input type=“number” name=“first”/><br><br>
Enter second number: <input type=“number” name=“second”/><br><br>
<input type=“submit” name=“add” value=“ADDITION”/>
<input type=“submit” name=“sub” value=“SUBTRACTION”/>
</form>

Output:

PHP Parametrized function 2

We passed the following number,

PHP Parametrized function 3

Now clicking on ADDITION button, we get the following output.

PHP Parametrized function 4

Now clicking on SUBTRACTION button, we get the following output.

PHP Parametrized function 5
