Custom Routines (PHP and Corel Paradox Cross Reference Guide)

PHP uses functions and loosely typed parameters. Function definitions can come before or after their usage so my preference when mixing PHP in with a mostly HTML page is to put the functions after the </html> tag.

function sayHello($pName) {
 echo "Hello " . $pName . "<br>";
}

function add($p1, $p2) {
 return $p1 + $p2;
}

 PHP Custom Function (function)

ObjectPAL is a non-OOP language (an object-based language) that offers custom methods and custom procedures. When you create a custom method, you associate it with an existing object like a button, form, or library.

When calling a custom method or procedure that has a by reference parameter (uses var), then you cannot use a literal value. this is different than in many other languages which do allow you to pass literals by reference.

method sayHello(var pName String)
 msgInfo("", "Hello " + pName)
endMethod
 

method add(p1 Number, p2 Number) Number
 Return p1 + p2
endMethod
