Would you expect this to work different somehow?
<?php
printfoobar();
exit;
$FOO = 'bar');
function printfoobar()
{
echo $GLOBALS["FOO"];
}
?>
I would not. Not only did you call the function before the define, but
you exit() before the define. There is no way that is getting defined.

Description:
------------
When I *call* a function which uses a define before this define is
actually defined in the source it appears in the function to be
undefined.
I didn't found this behavoir documented (not in the english or german
section) but it would probably very useful as it quickly can lead to
unexpected problems w/o instantly possible to detect why (in a script
of mine it caused busylooping f.ex.).
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
printfoobar();
exit;
define(FOO, 'bar');
function printfoobar()
{
echo FOO;
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
bar
Actual result:
--------------
FOO
