here you define the function

and here you never ever call the function. A function should be called,
which is what you seem to forget.

I don't have time to give an example of how you can handle this, but one
of the most important things should be to remove the echo from within
the function to outside the function, and return something from the
function that gives you an idea when you call the function what to do
next. hope this makes sense.
