                                                  Now we will use the function in a PHP script:
                              <html>
                              <body>
                              <?php
                              function writeMyName()
                                {
                                echo "Kai Jim Refsnes";
                                }
                              echo "Hello world!
                              ";
                              echo "My name is ";
                              writeMyName();
                              echo ".
                              That's right, ";
                              writeMyName();
                              echo " is my name.";
                              ?>
                              </body>
                              </html>      The output of the code above will be:
                              Hello world!
                              My name is Kai Jim Refsnes.
                              That's right, Kai Jim Refsnes is my name.      
                              PHP Functions - Adding parameters
                              Our first function (writeMyName()) is a very simple function. It only writes a static string.
                              To add more functionality to a function, we can add parameters. A parameter is just like a variable.
                              You may have noticed the parentheses after the function name, like: writeMyName(). The parameters are specified inside the parentheses.
                              Example 1
                              The following example will write different first names, but the same last name:
                              <html>
                              <body>
                              <?php
                              function writeMyName($fname)
                                {
                                echo $fname . " Refsnes.
                              ";
                                }
                              echo "My name is ";
                              writeMyName("Kai Jim");
                              echo "My name is ";
                              writeMyName("Hege");
                              echo "My name is ";
                              writeMyName("Stale");
                              ?>
                              </body>
                              </html>      The output of the code above will be:
                              My name is Kai Jim Refsnes.
                              My name is Hege Refsnes.
                              My name is Stale Refsnes.      Example 2
                              The following function has two parameters:
                              <html>
                              <body>
                              <?php
                              function writeMyName($fname,$punctuation)
                                {
                                echo $fname . " Refsnes" . $punctuation . "
                              ";
                                }
                              echo "My name is ";
                              writeMyName("Kai Jim",".");
                              echo "My name is ";
