    I have this PHP code and I use this same at multiple places on the same pages, So I think it will be better if it will be a functions and I use it by calling it.

    <?php

$text1Val = get_post_custom_values("thumb");
$text2Val = get_post_custom_values("video");

if($text1Val)
{
echo $text1Val[0]; ?>
<?php } else if($text2Val) { ?>
<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=http://img.youtube.com/vi/<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("video"); echo $values[0]; ?>/hqdefault.jpg&amp;h=106&amp;w=196&amp;zc=1
<?php } else { ?>
<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=http://img.youtube.com/vi/bTpM-8ZAjP4/hqdefault.jpg&amp;h=106&amp;w=196&amp;zc=1
<?php } ?>
    PHP:

    this is the example how you can do
    
function functionName()
{
code to be executed;
}
    Code (markup):
    PHP function guidelines:

    Give the function a name that reflects what the function does
    The function name can start with a letter or underscore (not a number)

    Thanks for reply filegrasper,

    Do you mean like this:
    function get_video_thumb()
{
<?php

$text1Val = get_post_custom_values("thumb");
$text2Val = get_post_custom_values("video");

if($text1Val)
{
echo $text1Val[0]; ?>
<?php } else if($text2Val) { ?>
<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=http://img.youtube.com/vi/<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("video"); echo $values[0]; ?>/hqdefault.jpg&amp;h=106&amp;w=196&amp;zc=1
<?php } else { ?>
<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=http://img.youtube.com/vi/bTpM-8ZAjP4/hqdefault.jpg&amp;h=106&amp;w=196&amp;zc=1
<?php } ?>
}

    <?php

    function my_vid(){
    $text1Val = get_post_custom_values("thumb");
    $text2Val = get_post_custom_values("video");

    if($text1Val)
    {
    echo $text1Val[0]; ?>
    <?php } else if($text2Val) { ?>
    <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=http://img.youtube.com/vi/<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("video"); echo $values[0]; ?>/hqdefault.jpg&amp;h=106&amp;w=196&amp;zc=1
    <?php } else { ?>
    <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=http://img.youtube.com/vi/bTpM-8ZAjP4/hqdefault.jpg&amp;h=106&amp;w=196&amp;zc=1
    <?php
    } } ?>

    Put this function in your functions.php file and invoke/call it from anywhere inside your post loop. I am sure you're working with WordPress.

    Hello friend, Just call this function using the name and parameters,

    Example:

    my_vid(var1,var2);

    That is enough... Thanks
