From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Windows NT 4 sp 5 & Solaris 8 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: calling function before it is defined only works in same file Define a function. Put a call to that function BEFORE it is defined. That works, as documented. Now put the function in an include()'d or require()'d file. Call the function before the include() or require(). It fails. Since the code is pre-compiled beforehand, shouldn't the function calls still work? If this is "as designed" it might be nice to place a caveat in the documentation that states "you can call a function before you define it ONLY if the function isn't buried in an include()." -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10171&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
