You're declaring your function wrong.

You're doing:

function (function_name)

You should be doing

function function_name($arg1, $arg2, $arg3) // with as many comma
seperated arguments as you want.

or if you don´t want to pass any arguments

function function_name()


Try this out:

function make_table($arg1, $arg2){
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $arg1; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $arg2; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}

note that I have to go back into PHP twice to get the variables.

I could also (although tbh you should wait until you have more
experience before you read on)

function make_table($arg1, $arg2){
echo <<<ENDOFTABLE
<table>
<tr>
<td>$arg1</td>
<td>$arg2</td>
</tr>
</table>
ENDOFTABLE;
}
