Abstract: We study the functional codes of second order defined by G. Lachaud on $mathcalXsubset{mathbbP}^4(mathbb{F}_q)$ a quadric of rank($mathcalX$)=3,4,5 or a non-degenerate hermitian variety. We give some bounds for %$$, the number of points of quadratic sections of $mathcalX$, which are the best possible and show that codes defined on non-degenerate quadrics are better than those defined on degenerate quadrics. We also show the geometric structure of the minimum weight codewords and estimate the second weight of these codes. For $mathcalX$ a non-degenerate hermitian variety, we list the first five weights and the corresponding codewords. The paper ends with two conjectures. One on the minimum distance for the functional codes of order $h$ on $mathcalXsubset{mathbbP}^4(mathbb{F}_q)$ a non-singular hermitian variety. The second conjecture on the distribution of the codewords of the first five weights of the functional codes of second order on $mathcalXsubset{mathbbP}^N(mathbb{F}_q)$ the non-singular hermitian variety.
