I see, you that you want to function which will return something string. You can pass variable as an argument. Things after return statement will be what you get by calling frank()

$greeting = 'Hello';
function frank ( $greeting) {
    $name = 'frank';
    $second = 'robson';
    return  $greeting." ".$name." ".$second;
}

echo frank ( $greeting );  

Or if you want to use global variable in the function you must declared this by a global statement

$greeting = 'Hello';
function frank ( $greeting) {
        global $greeting;
        $name = 'frank';
        $second = 'robson';
        return  $greeting." ".$name." ".$second; // 
    }
echo frank ( $greeting );
