# Same function, individual parameters on multisite?

 * Hi everybody,
 * we’re thinking about switching from several individual wordpress blogsites to
   one multisite, with one single theme for all the multisite blogs. As far as I
   get it up to now, this means that there will be only one functions.php for all
   sites. This leads to a problem for which I need some helpful ideas.
    Now, I am
   planning a scheduled task in the functions.php which updates some stuff for each
   blog from a database once daily. The database connection uses an individual ID
   for each blog to retrieve the correct dataset. This ID ist stored in the options
   table of each blog and retrieved with get_option(my_code). Now my question: is
   it possible to use one and the same function on a multisite for updating each
   blog, and just call it with different parameters? I would be grateful for any
   help.
 * Regards,
    Evi Silvia

 * You can make child themes with their own functions.php file and activate a different
   one on each site.

 * Thanks nnikolov, I think that would work, but I would end up with up to 100 child
   themes. I’m hoping for a more manageable solution. Ideas, anyone? Any help would
   be appreciated.

 * A network activated plugin with that checks using IF statement which is the current
   blog then.

 * Something like that… I must do some more research, I think.

 *     ```
       $blog_id = get_current_blog_id();
   
       if ( 1 === $blog_id ) {
       // do stuff for blog id 1 only
       } elseif ( 2 === $blog_id ) {
       // do stuff for blog id 2 only
       }
       // and so on ...
       ```
