That's not going to happen. My point was you could check in the original
file if the function is defined and if not then define it.

OK, thanks, Thijs and Peter, it looks like I'm trying to do something
that is not currently possible in PHP. Time for some lateral thinking.

David,
I re-read your original post. And noticed you include the function
inside your child action.php
Is there a special reason for that? You want to overwrite the original
function in a child theme.
probably to get different functionality. So why do you need the
original function?
Just create your action.php and define the same function.
// include '../sometheme/functions/actions.php';
function foo($arg_1, $arg_2, /* ..., */ $arg_n) {
echo "All my new code.\n";
}
It's code duplication. But i don't think themes should have
dependencies to one an other.
You could also create a actions.php file outside the themes folder.
wp-content/shared-functions/action.php
And then in your themes do:
theme 1
include "shared-function/action.php";
foo();
theme 2
include "shared-function/action.php";
foo();

It's a WordPress issue. When theme updates become available from the
original vendor, you can update them from within the admin backend. In
that case, any hacks you've applied (such as removing a function) get
overwritten. So the evangelized solution is to create a child theme.
The child theme incorporates only files that you've added or changed,
with the original parent theme being used for all others.
Easy peasy if you want to *add* a function.
But, if you want to *modify* a function, you're faced with the problem
of the original function still being present in the parent theme files
and of your having to define a function of the same name in your child
theme (if you change the function name, you then have to hack other
code further upstream, and the work involved becomes not worth the
bother). Somehow, I would need to make my hacked function *replace*
the original function, *without* touching the original function...
It seems like that's not possible and I'll have to find another
solution... unless my explanation gives you any good ideas?
Just to put the dots on the I's, the original "actions.php" contains a
lot of *other* functions that I don't want to touch, and that I do
want to leave exposed to the updates process. It's just one single
function I want to hack...
Sticky problem, huh? :-)
In any case, thanks for your kind help, :-)

P.S. Sorry about the direct mails: I keep forgetting to hit the

I am curious on how this would work, if for some reason they were using
a different template? the function you want to "overwrite", wont be
used, and therefore, wouldn't your app/template/whatever be updated
improperly than waht you expect it to be?
Just curious...

Hi guys, :-)
Just FYI, I got this answer from the theme dev:
"David,
You don't need the include statement. If you create your function in
wp-content/themes/suffusion-child/functions.php it will get
automatically included.
Secondly, using the same function name wouldn't work, because it would
require me to encase the original function definition in actions.php
in a "function_exists" clause. I would suggest using a different
function name, then using remove_action to remove the older action and
add_action to add the new action."
(http://www.aquoid.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3070)
I'm not yet confident about how to actually implement this in code...
Any tips or advice would be gratefully heard.

Steve, maybe the above informs? In any case, the function to be
overwritten is likely to remain fairly stable...
All the best, :-)

Hi List,
Sorry this took so long, but I wanted to close the loop (and maybe ease some
one else's trouble :-)).
I didn't think much about the die(header('Location:
run_this_even_if_user_aborts.php')) call I was actually using to get this
working.
When I carefully looked up php.net for header, I realised it was a browser
redirect! Now wonder the script would work some times but not always.
It's clear now that every time the script worked was because I waited long
enough for the browser to be redirected before killing the page.
I finally settled on using jquery's ajax calls.
Thanks once again to the repliers.

Guys,
Google announced this
morning<http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/11/make-your-websites-run-faster.html>their
mod_pagespeed <http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/module.html> to
improve Apache's performance. It really looks promising, what do you guys
think?
Me and Daniel Brown will be running some tests with it, let us know if you'd
like to join us. :)
Google mentions 2x faster loading times, but they don't mention CPU cost.
What do you think it will break?
Cheers,

Thiago,
I would like to join this. Let me know how I can help you with this. Please
be explicit with your requests so that we can totally test it and see if it
could pose any risk to acceleration services provided by CDNs.

I've yet to read the specs behind it (I was out of the office),
but from the overview I did see, it should not only be of no detriment
to CDNs. In fact, Google is working with an existing company,
Cotendo, to integrate the core into their CDN.

Hi,
I have a text file (utf-8 encoded) which contains lines with numbers and
text separated by \t. I need to convert the numbers that contains 0 (at
left) to integers.
For some reason one line that contains 00000002 is casted to 0 instead of 2.
Bellow the output of the cast (int) $field[0] where I get this from
explode each line.
0 00000002
4 00000004

My first guess is wondering how you are grabbing the strings from the file.
Seems to me like it would just drop the zeros on the left by default. Are you
including the \t in the string by accident? If so, that may be hosing it.
Otherwise, have you tried ltrim on it?
Ex:
$_castableString = ltrim($_yourString, '0');
// Now cast
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
To exclude unexcepted behavior in case of wrongly formated input data,
it would be much better to use such type-casting method:
intval(ltrim(trim($inStr), '0'))

I'm wondering what the advantages/disadvantage of using prepared
statements with mysqli are. I'm used to using the mysqli::query and
mysqli::fetch_assoc functions to deal with retrieving data and bulding
my sql statement in php code.
