Article: In this case i chose to call the function "my_function," in your scripts you should give your functions better names.You may have noticed the "$input" variable in between the parenthesis. This is called an argument. It is the input that the function will return as an output. PHP functions can have multiple arguments, as long as they are separated by commas. Observe the example above. The command "return" does exactly what is says, it returns the output. In this case the output is $input minus two, times 10. Take note that once the output has been returned the function is exited, and no code after it will be executed.

Create a new PHP file on your web server, and open it in your favorite text editor. Start your file by typing the open and close PHP tags with some space in between to work with.

Now type this code inside the curly braces.

Problem: Article: When she's talking about what she wants to do with her life, career, or general future, pay attention to whether or not she includes you in her plans. If she does, there's a good chance that she's interested in a relationship and sees you being a part of her life for a long time. If she doesn't, though, don't worry. She might be nervous about including you in her plans without talking to you about it first. Women are pretty good at getting to know others because they know exactly what questions to ask. Make note of when she asks about your career plans, your ideal future family, or your hopes and dreams. These are all signs that she wants to see if your future and hers are compatible. Listen for questions like "How many kids do you want?" or "Do you believe in marriage?" She might also ask questions about your relationship with your family, your previous romantic relationships, or your general beliefs. Along with asking questions comes answering questions! If she's told you about her beliefs, past relationships, and family, she's probably very comfortable with you and sees you as someone she can trust. While this is normal for friends, it can be a sign that she's open to something deeper. This is especially true if she's shared stories that are very meaningful, or even painful, for her to discuss. If she feels comfortable talking about topics that make her emotional around you, it's a good sign that she sees you as someone who is emotionally supportive. Sometimes, you can tell if she likes you by paying attention to how she talks, in addition to what she's saying. If she trips over her words when she's looking at you, or seems flustered, it's a pretty good sign that she likes you. If she's telling an embarrassing story or a funny joke, she might blush when she looks at you, or forget what she was saying.
Summary: Make note of how she talks about her future plans. Think about whether or not she asks you deep questions. Ask yourself if you think that she has opened up to you. Recognize if she gets tongue-tied or nervous around you.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you want your guy to trust you 100%, then you need to afford him the same luxury. Trust is a two-way street. Don't panic if he doesn't immediately return your call or reply to a text -- guys are forgetful about these kinds of things -- it doesn't mean he's up to something shady. If your man is open and honest with you and has never done anything to hurt you in the past, then you have no reason not to trust him. So if he wants a wild night out with the guys, you can be totally zen about it! Making a guy feel good about himself is an important part of treating him well. You don't want to be around someone who puts you down all the time, and neither does he. Be considerate of his feelings -- thank him when he does something nice for you to let him know that you appreciate him, and apologize when you say something harsh or uncalled for. If he's having a hard time at work, let him know that you believe in him and have confidence in his abilities. He'll feel much better about himself afterwards. Sometimes we all just need to vent and share our feelings with another person. You want to be that person for your man when he needs it, so show him that he can tell you anything by being a good listener. Try not to interrupt or make any judgmental comments -- just listen to what he has to say, try to be sympathetic and offer some constructive advice. Men are egotistical creatures, so boosting his ego with a well-timed compliment can put him on top of the world. Tell him he looks great today, that his gym workouts are really paying off, or that his new haircut really suits him. Let him know that he's the only man for you, and that you feel lucky to have him. Your guy should know that he can count on you no matter what and that you'll always be there for him when he needs you. Be his safety net when he needs it -- back him up if he wants to take a risk with a new business idea, support him if he's having family issues and be his shoulder to cry on when something bad happens. Being in a loving relationship is about sticking it out through the bad times as well as the good -- so don't be a fair-weathered girlfriend!

SUMMARY: Trust him. Make him feel good. Be a good listener. Boost his ego. Let him know he can count on you.

If you're not sure where to start with your classroom rules, you can begin by simply writing down all of the specific behaviors that you want to discourage your students from engaging in. Then use this list to craft your rules. Use the specific actions you came up with to develop more general rules. For example, if you don't want your students to talk out of turn or use cellphones during class, your rule could be "be respectful of the teacher." Instead of centering your classroom contract around rules, which typically state actions that are prohibited, give your students something to work towards by establishing goals. The goals can be broad statements such as "treat everyone with respect." This goal inherently prohibits behavior like hitting and name calling without having to spell out each undesired behavior. If you do need to establish specific rules beyond your broader goals, try to use positive language. This will help motivate students to meet the expectations, rather than bombarding them with prohibited activities. For example, "Keep your work stations neat" is a better rule than "Don't make a mess." It's extremely important that your students understand what is expected of them, or else they will never be able to follow the rules. When crafting your rules, do your best to make them clear and concise, while leaving no room for misinterpretation. Avoid using confusing words that your students may not know. If your rule seems vague, be sure to give examples so your students understand what it means. Talk to them about what works best in their classroom, as well as what hasn't worked. Not only will this give you ideas about what to include in your classroom contract, it can also prevent discrepancies between classrooms that could create conflict, as students will favor a more permissive teacher. It's better for both students and teachers if there are uniform expectations across classrooms. This will provide the students with a stable, clearly structured learning environment.
