Variable undefined inside function, cannot reach MySQL $ link inside function

I have some code that works when I use it on a page, but I am trying to make it a function. I can't get it to work, it seems that the $ customer and $ system variables arent being sent to the code. Even if I print it in Raw. Any idea what's wrong? $ Client is the name of the client, $ system can be "Source" or "Target".

function status_total($customer, $system){
        $sql_customer       = "SELECT * FROM `Customer` WHERE Cust_Name = '$customer' LIMIT 0,1";
        $customer_selection = mysqli_query($conn,$sql_customer);
        $customer_row       = mysqli_fetch_assoc($customer_selection);
        $env_lines          = $customer_row["Env_Lines"];
        $cust_id            = $customer_row["Cust_ID"];
        $sql_last_records   = "SELECT * FROM $system WHERE Cust_ID = $cust_id ORDER BY Time DESC LIMIT $env_lines";
        $record_selection   = mysqli_query($conn, $sql_last_records);               

        $result = mysqli_fetch_all($record_selection, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
        $states = array_column($result, "Stat");

        if($states == array_fill(0, count($states), "Run")) {
            echo "Success";
        } else 
            echo "Fail";

    }

The problem with your code is the variable $conn

that handles the local variable inside the function. You must:

function status_total($customer, $system){
        global $conn;

        $sql_customer       = "SELECT * FROM `Customer` WHERE Cust_Name = '$customer' LIMIT 0,1";
        $customer_selection = mysqli_query($conn,$sql_customer);
        $customer_row       = mysqli_fetch_assoc($customer_selection);
        $env_lines          = $customer_row["Env_Lines"];
        $cust_id            = $customer_row["Cust_ID"];
        $sql_last_records   = "SELECT * FROM $system WHERE Cust_ID = $cust_id ORDER BY Time DESC LIMIT $env_lines";
        $record_selection   = mysqli_query($conn, $sql_last_records);               

        $result = mysqli_fetch_all($record_selection, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
        $states = array_column($result, "Stat");

        if($states == array_fill(0, count($states), "Run")) {
            echo "Success";
        } else 
            echo "Fail";

    }


Or you can also pass $conn

through a function, so change the function definition to:

function status_total($conn, $customer, $system){...}
