Hi...The above code wont work because as with other languages, PHP variables have scope. This helps keep the namespace free (imagine having to unset temporary variables every time you needed them in functions!) and preserves accidental overwriting. To call a variable from global scope—i.e., any variable assigned outside of a function, into local scope—i.e., a function, you need to use the global keyword,

it shuld be modified as...

$text = “My name is ”;


function my_name($name) {

global $text;

if(isset($name)) {
print($text . $name);
}

}


name(“James”);
