<simpara>
This method allows PHP function to be registered with SQLite as a
user-defined function, so that it can be called within SQL queries.
The defined function can be used in any SQL query that allows function calls,
for example <literal>SELECT</literal>, <literal>UPDATE</literal>, or triggers.
</simpara>
<tip>
<simpara>
By using this method it is possible to override native SQL functions.

<simpara>
In this example, we have a function that calculates the SHA256 sum of a
string, and then reverses it. When the SQL statement executes, it
returns the value of the filename transformed by our function.
The data returned in <varname>$rows</varname> contains the processed result.
</simpara>
<simpara>
The beauty of this technique is that there is no need to process the
result using a &foreach; loop after the query.
