It's been suggested you do a thorough search for this function, but the
fact that PHP isn't finding it in the first place leads me to believe it
isn't there. If that's the case, I'd suggest you make up your own alt()
function that does what you think this one is doing (maybe just return
the passed variable). You'll have to decide where to put it that's
visible in all the places where it's called.

This is someplace where NetBeans really benefits me. You can hit CTRL-B, or
right-click, to take you to a definition. Holding CTRL turns darned-near
everything into a hyperlink, doing the same thing.
Lastly, CTRL-SHIFT-F lets you search through every file in the project for
your string.
Finding nothing with those, I'd grep the whole stinkin' drive and go grab a
coffee. :)

I think that you should check the included files (require, require_once,
include, include_once) in case it is defined somewhere in there. Another
possibility I can think of is to be defined in a framework that you use.
You can check the user and internal functions using the
get_defined_fumctions():

What if it is not defined in your project but somewhere in your include
path? You could I suppose grep the whole drive if you have time to waste :)

Re: [PHP] alt() - unknown function?
Hi all,
I've just started looking at the code of an e-commerce site we are taking
over the development of, that another company has previously developed .
Coupled with the difficulty of taking over development of someone else's
code (also poorly commented), I've been stumped by a fatal error on a
function call alt() which is dotted everywhere in the main templating script
(sample below):
// Get/Set a specific property of a page
function getPageProp($prop,$id="") { return
$this->PAGES[alt($id,$this->getPageID())][$prop]; }
function setPageProp($prop,$val,$id="") {
$this->PAGES[alt($id,$this->getPageID())][$prop]=$val; }
It looks to be defining properties for a list of pages, with each page
providing its own PageID.
I've never seen this function before, nor can I find any definition of it in
the site code, I was wondering if anyone recognises this, is it from a
thirdparty templating tool at all?
Thanks
-Tom
