How to pass html form values to 2 different PHP functions

How can i pass form value to 2 PHP functions. For example this is what am trying to do:

$delegate_name = trim($_POST['delegate_name']);

function certificate_custom_css(){  //function 1

  if(($_GET["page"] == "preview_certificate") && ("Clement" == $delegate_name))
{
wp_enqueue_style( 'certificates_stylesheet_base');
wp_enqueue_style( 'certificates_stylesheet_fancy'); 
wp_enqueue_style( 'certificates_stylesheet_tab3'); 

}

}

you can do it in following way

function certificate_custom_css($delegate_name){  //function 1

if(($_GET["page"] == "preview_certificate") && ("Clement" == $delegate_name))
{
    wp_enqueue_style( 'certificates_stylesheet_base');
    wp_enqueue_style( 'certificates_stylesheet_fancy'); 
    wp_enqueue_style( 'certificates_stylesheet_tab3'); 

}

} 

function certificate($delegate_name){  //function 2

return  $delegate_name;

}

and can call methods like

$delegate_name = trim($_POST['delegate_name']);

certificate_custom_css($delegate_name);
certificate($delegate_name);

What you have to do in order this to work is, you have to make the function accept an argument like this:

function certificate_custom_css($delegate_name)

And later call it with 

certificate_custom_css($delegate_name);

The other way to use it, is to use it as a global:

function certificate(){  //function 2
 global $delegate_name;

 return  $delegate_name;

}

I really really recommend using the first one, unless absolutely necessary to use global.

There are of course the closures, but I suggest to stick to the first option, if you do not completely understand them. But you can do it like this:

$certificate_custom_css = function() use ($delegate_name) { return $delegate_name;}

You can read some more here and here.
