Answer 1

you have non sence parameters in your function, try this:

   function sumAll($row,$monthNr){
  $data = "SELECT SUM(".$row.") sums FROM closeDay WHERE MONTH(dates) = '".$monthNr."' AND YEAR(dates) = YEAR(CURDATE())";
  $result = mysql_query($data);
  $query_data = mysql_fetch_array($result);
  $first = $query_data['sums'];
  return $first;
}

call it like that:

 sumAll('total' , 01);
