Abstract
This chapter introduces you to the concept of functions. PHP comes with a function library of many hundreds of functions already written for you to use. Functions make your life as a programmer much easier by expanding the core of the language and providing you with advanced features. However, no matter how good a function library is, it will never contain every function that you will want. In such cases you will need to create your own. Furthermore you may wish to divide your code into separate PHP files and include these together to form a large single PHP script. This chapter explains how.
