I just learned this simple method on how to use functions to combine two values from a form. First we create ourselves a simple POST form

CODE
<form method="POST">
Name: <input type="text" name="nickname">
Location: <input type="text" name="location">
<input type="submit" value="Input">
</form>


Now we add this php to that same file

CODE
<?php

$nick = $_POST['nickname'];

$location = $_POST['location'];

function information($nick, $location){

    echo 'My nick is '.ucfirst($nick).'<br>My location is '.$location;
    
}

information($nick, $location);

?>


that code is similar to this one

CODE
<?php

$nick = $_POST['nickname'];

$location = $_POST['location'];

function information($nick, $location){

    return 'My nick is '.ucfirst($nick).'<br>My location is '.$location;
    
}

$combine = information($nick, $location);

echo $combine;

?>


It's up to you to decide which one to use wink.gif

And that is it. I really find this code quite useful for understanding functions in PHP. Hope it does the same for you.
(here's the example)

EDIT: Edited form as truefusion said below

CODE
<form action="<?php $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="POST">

If i'm not mistaken, you can do without the action="<?php $PHP_SELF; ?>" part since it'll be loading the same page. That is,
CODE
<form method="POST">
