    echo removeSmallWords($title);

    or add it in a variable that you can later use .. $words = removeSmallWords($title);

    worked perfect. I have got another question. I have got many other functions.

    How can i use them all once instead of using one by one.

    Thanks

    I mean I have got different functions and if i want to use them one by one i need to do this

    
    
    $words = removeSmallWords($title);
    $words = anotherfunction($title);
    $words = anotherfunction($title);
    $words = anotherfunction($title);
    $words = anotherfunction($title);
    ...
    ...

    no you can edit your first function and add a call to the other functions ..

    or better make a functions that calls all functions

    function call_All($words) {

    $returnedvalue = function1($words);
    $returnedvalue = functuon2($whatever);
    ....

    return $returnedvalue;



    }

    Or just build all those functions into a main one? Would probably mean each individual function could be rewritten too.
