Can I include a function inside of another function?

Question

Is it possible to include one function inside another? To learn functions, I\'m trying to create a combat sequence using PHP. The sequence would look like this:

Your rollSim() function should return the rolled numbers rather than setting some variables and trying to use them in your other function. I would return them in an associative array, like this:

function rollSim() {
    $roll['hAttack'] = rand(1,20);
    $roll['mDefend'] = rand(1,20);
    $roll['mAttack'] = rand(1,20);
    $roll['hDefend'] = rand(1,20);
    $roll['mDamage'] = rand(10,25);
    $roll['hDamage'] = rand(1,20);

    return $roll;
}

function combatSim() {
    $roll = rollSim();

    if ($roll['hAttack'] > $roll['mDefend']) {
        print "Hero hit monster for {$roll['hDamage']} damage.
";
    } else if ($roll['hAttack'] <= $roll['mDefend']) {
        print "Hero missed monster.";
    }
}
