Thanks guys for all your help.
I've managed to get it working.
I tried calling the function from within the file and it turned out
that somehow I had messed up my include statement.
I understood about adding argument variables to the syntax, but I
needed to add a text argument as I couldn't think of a way of setting
the variable in a way that I could distinguish between different
values for different tables on the same page.
Anyway, thanks to you all for taking some time to help me out.
