How to create a function to use an array in the function to get a result

PHP
1

How does the function work? How do I create a function which I could insert an array ($keyword_color1[0, $keyword_color1[1]], $keyword_color1[2]…) to get a result?

basically you do it like that:

function doSomething(array $input)
{
    // do something with the input array to produce $result

    return $result;
}
1 Like

Ok in this case the $input should be
$bk2=13;
$ch2=10;
$keyword_color1 = array(array(“flee”,“pink”), array(“fled”,“pink”), array(“Saul”,“teal”));
But how will it be written in the brackets?

Somehow the array is going to be in the for loop whereas $b2 and $ch2 will be out of the loop of the function. But this is what i’m not sure. Is the for loop going to be around the actual coding of the function or only when I call the function?

4

Where’s the values for $b1 $c1 and $dbTable coming from? If they’re coming from the user then they must be validated and a prepared statement used

5

$b1 and $c1 are from the url, whereas $db Table is from within. What will change is $keyword_color1 or $keyword_color which will be an array of arrays. For example the function is supposed to make a search of, let’s say an array of 3 words and 3 colors, then a second time the function searches an array of five words with their colors, then 2 words and colors…

6

How are you supposed to define them?
