This tutorial is using the same base code as Add two numbers, but with using the function addtwo, this takes two parameters $a and $b which are both set to 0 as the default value and returns the two values added together. The answer part of the web page uses the function to add the two numbers together.
The source code
<?php function addtwo($a = 0, $b = 0) { return ($a + $b); } $value1 = $_POST['value1']; $value2 = $_POST['value2']; ?> <html> <title>PHP - Add two numbers</title> <body> <form action="addtwonumbers.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="value1" value="0" /> <input type="text" name="value2" value="0" /> <input type="submit" value="Calculate values"/> </form> Answer : <?php echo addtwo($value1+$value2); ?> </body> </html> |

Shouldn’t the method be called with a comma between the arguments rather than an operand?
Well spotted Tom, I copy and pasted from the previous tutorial and forgot to alter the parameters to the function.. It was

Did you place the full html code from above ? because the $_POST means values from the
