Biske94 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 What is the difference between statements and functions? For instance why dont we type include('somefile.php') or echo('Hello World') ? Thanks! Quote
MNS45 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 Are you talking about the difference between language construct and functions in PHP? I don't exactly understand the difference but I found a helpful post on stackoverflow. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1180184/what-is-the-difference-between-a-language-construct-and-a-built-in-function-in Supposedly, language constructs can't be used in call backs. It's the second post by Pascal Martin, he has example code. Quote
administrator Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 Functions do something ... they process. You can think of functions as being like mini programs. Statement just state something .... there is no processing. That is a non nerd way of describing it. Think of a statement like a verbal statement. Quote
