Question

I have a file called function.php that has a function like this:

public function issue_challenge () 
{
    $conn= fns_connect(13);
    mysql_select_db("et_games",$conn);
    $sql = "insert into challengers (challenger,defender,stake,matching_game_id) values (".$this->talentnum_self.",".$this->talentnum_other.",".$this->stake.",'".$this->matching_str()."')";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    echo $sql; mysql_error();

    if($result){
        echo "ok.\n";return true;                
    }else{
        return false;                    
    }
}

and another file called test.php that has a form in it.

How do I pass the values from that form into that function?

I am looking for some generic answer on how to pass a string/variable to a function.

Thanks

Answer 1

Call your function this way:

 if(isset($_GET['form_name'])) {
     $val = $_GET['form_name'];
     public function issue_challenge($val);
}

Also: Change the declaration to:

public function issue_challenge($formValue) {

...function contents...

}
