Re: Using functions before they're defined

My guess it's that since the page is entirely read before processed (hence you get parse errors and nothing before it's executed), the function calls are store somewhere waiting for the definitions. Once the page is entirely parsed, the functions try to execute... If you asked with PHP development, sources, module development, etc... I mean, if you want to know how it's done internally to change or take advantage of those resources, I guess php.dev mailing list is a better place. -- Julio Nobrega.
