MAJOR Problem with function in PHP

Hello everyone!
I've created a function which replaces some input into images. A function to parse smilies in a weblog:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

function setsmile($messsge){



    $message = htmlspecialchars(trim(stripslashes($message)));



    $message = str_replace(":)", "<img src='images/smiles/bigsmile.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":@", "<img src='images/smiles/angry.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":|", "<img src='images/smiles/dunno.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":!", "<img src='images/smiles/expla.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":~", "<img src='images/smiles/grrr.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace("\-/", "<img src='images/smiles/hypno.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace("*lol*", "<img src='images/smiles/lol.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":p", "<img src='images/smiles/luna.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":--", "<img src='images/smiles/lyer.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":-|", "<img src='images/smiles/maybe.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace("*mmm*", "<img src='images/smiles/mmm.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":pp", "<img src='images/smiles/phatluna.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":?", "<img src='images/smiles/question.gif'>", $message);

    $message = str_replace(":(", "<img src='images/smiles/unhappy.gif'>", $message);



    $message = nl2br($message);



    return($message);

}

?>

This function is located in a seperate file so I can use it on my guestbook too. The problem is that when I call the function in my script, there is no output at all!!

PHP Code:


		
			
include("function.php");

$string = setsmile($string);

print $string;

Can you people help me?

In your function, you've misspelled the parameter in parentheses ($messsge). Took me a few minutes of puzzling over the code to spot it.
