Writing a function 1

[camcim]

Hi all,
Is this the proper coding for a function?
If so, how do i call it later on in my script?
If it is not, am i able to write such a function this way?

function find_title(){
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM help WHERE help_id = '$cat_id'",$db);
while  ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$help_name = $row["help_name"];

echo "$help_name";
}
}

Cheers,
camcim

function find_title($cat_id){
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM help WHERE help_id = '$cat_id'",$db);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$help_name = $row["help_name"];

echo "$help_name";
}
}


to call it:
find_title($cat_id); ______________________________________________________________________
