Creating Functions in PHP

A function is a segment of code that receives additional input in the form of parameter lists and processes it to produce a value. PHP provides tens of thousands of pre-built functions that can perform tasks such as storing and retrieving data in the database, making requests to HTTP APIs, creating images on-the-fly, etc. To create a function, you start by declaring it with the keyword function and then provide an identifier and parameters for it in the opening and closing curly brackets. In PHP, you can specify as many parameters as you want; just divide them by commas and separate them from the identifier by using the parentheses.

The "prev" function in PHP allows developers to retrieve the element of an array that came before the one they're currently examining. This functionality enables users to loop across data structures and retrieve values flexibly.

When you call a function, it's important to note that the variable name used within the function does not represent the same value or memory space as the variable names used outside of the function. This is known as scope. If you were to use the same variable name inside and outside of a function, you would get an error message stating that this was not allowed.

In PHP, if you're using a function that has one or more parameters with default values, you should specify the default values for those parameters in the function definition. This is not required, but it is recommended. In addition, the default values for a function's parameters cannot be complex expressions; they must be an integer.
