in reply to What does $query->param() do?

Without further context, monarch's guess is a good one. About all that can be said with certainty is that the snippet you provided follows this general format:
$variable = $object->method(parameter);
In other words, you are running the method called param() of the object called $query using the parameter named 'fungsi1' and assigning the results to the variable called $fungsi1.
