PHP Run Function and echo Result-CodePudding

I need to check a name (from $_GET) several times against a current passed name. The function called is checkName and the $_GET is $CurrentName, the passed name to check if equal is $ActiveName. I need to echo the result for font color and passed name. See code below.

Error I get: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Function name must be a string in Filename.php:33 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in Filename.php on line 33

<?php
$CurrentName = $_GET["name"];
echo $CurrentName;

function checkName($ActiveName)
{
    if ($CurrentName == $ActiveName)
    {
        echo "<font color='#235689'><b>$ActiveName</b></font>";
    } else {
        echo "<font color='#000000'><b>$ActiveName</b></font>";
    }
}
?>
<table border='0' width='100%'>
 <tr>
  <td width='40%' bgcolor='#AED7FF' height='30' >Name 1</td>
  <td width='60%' bgcolor='#AED7FF' height='30' ><?php $checkName("Robert"); ?></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td width='40%' bgcolor='#AED7FF' height='30' >Name 2</b></td>
  <td width='60%' bgcolor='#AED7FF' height='30' ><?php $checkName("Jackson"); ?></td>
 </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I need to call the function many times.

CodePudding user response：

You are calling the function in a wrong way in the table. the correct way of calling the function is checkName("Robert") without the $.

CodePudding user response：

If you want to compare that $CurrentName, you can pass that $CurrentName as a argument in checkName function and use it inside the checkName function. Now Call the function without $ eg. checkName($ActiveName, $CurrentName);

$CurrentName = $_GET["name"];

function checkName($ActiveName, $CurrentName) {
    if ($CurrentName == $ActiveName) {
        echo "<font color='#235689'><b>$ActiveName</b></font>";
    } else {
        echo "<font color='#000000'><b>$ActiveName</b></font>";
    } 
 }

$ActiveName = "Monkey D Luffy"
checkName($ActiveName, $CurrentName)

Hope this helpful,
