Re: User defined function problem

what Jon said. but note it's better to stick your functions into a seperate 'funcs' file and include_once() or require_once() that instead. at some stage you'll have so many functions you may want to split them up into seperate 'funcs' files depending on what they do (and/or what they are used for) but for now start by creating a a single utility file that just contains functions you have written.
