Use parameters within a Function, please help me

[BabyBlue]

I have a function like this:
function get_articles($c at=1,$numberpos ts=1);

it can be used:
get_articles(ca t=4&numberposts =6);
//will display 6 posts from category 6

then I want to use that function within another function, like this:

function display_cat($ne w_cat=1,$new_nu m=1,$otherconte nt="")
{
get_articles(ca t=$new_cat&numb erposts=$new_nu m)

.......
}


Can I pass function like this ?

You mean

get_articles(ca t=4, numberposts=6);

yes?

then I want to use that function within another function, like this:

function display_cat($ne w_cat=1,$new_nu m=1,$otherconte nt="")

I think you mean

get_articles($n ew_cat, $new_num);

And you're not passing a function, you're passing variables. You can't
pass functions in PHP. You could pass objects, but you don't need to
here.

Thank you very much for your reply.

here is exactly my code:

$article = get_articles(ca t=4&numberposts =6);
// then I will extract data from $article

However, I want to pass 2 parametes cat and numberposts from another
function, so I must write another function:

function display_cat($ne w_cat=1,$new_nu m=1,$otherconte nt="")
{
$article=get_ar ticles(cat=$new _cat&numberpost s=$new_num)
......
}

My purpose is want to pass $new_cat and $new_num from function
display_cat().
Is is possible ?

Please help me, thank you very much !

Wrong group?
This is not PHP; the syntax is wrong.
For the correct PHP syntax read the manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php

Should be

$article = get_articles(4, 6);

Should be

$article = get_articles($n ew_cat, $new_num);

}

No, you are incorrect. You would call it with:

get_articles(4, 6);

"cat=4&numberpo sts=6" is strictly an HTML implementation. It's not used
within functions like this.

So in your display_cat function, you would call it with

get_articles($n ew_cat, $numberposts);
