How to call function of one php file from another php file and pass parameters to it

Question

I want to call a function in one PHP file from a second PHP file and also pass two parameters to that function. How can I do this?

I am very new to PHP. So please tell me, should I include the first PHP file into the second?

Answer 1

Hello @kartik,

Include the first file into the second that's it.

See an example below,

File1.php :

<?php
  function first($int, $string){ //function parameters, two variables.
    return $string;  //returns the second argument passed into the function
  }
?>

Now Using include to include the File1.php to make its content available for use in the second file:

File2.php :

<?php
  include 'File1.php';
  echo first(1,"Hello edureka"); 
?>

Hope it helps!!
ThanK you!!
