This function is identical to calling fopen(),
in php you have a number of constructs that can be used to execute code (or
not) based on certain conditions ie is_defined(). Not sure if
the comparison with C holds true as C is compiled and PHP is interpreted.

Methink you're a little confused. A function is a piece of code that
performs a specific job that can be called. You may send it

Don't be scared of functions, no magic or mystery there, all you are doing

function add($a, $b) {
return $a + $b;

Your problem is this:

something like this:

Another small and unrelated point - you don't need to use double quotes
inside the array brackets - you're not processing them at all.
The characters are encoded in octal and the php interpreter converts them
into the corresponding ASCII characters and then the sequence is represented
as a string which is included?

There are a few ways of working you should adpot early as they protect

3. Always mistrust incoming data, validate, check contents
Also, turn off display_errors before going into production, at which stage
