Perhaps these hints will be helpful:
- echo should be defined after the function (not inside it)
- echo should be assigned to the result of calling the function.
- when you call the function, pass it a string parameter (parameters go between the parentheses).

Pro Edit: Steven Parker beat me to the punch. :p
