note 33694 rejected from function.require by sp

Note Submitter: greywire@peoplecatcher.net ---- Contrary to the previous poster's experience (which is also exactly what I want to happen), this does not seem to work for me. A class declared in an included file from within a function does not seem to be available outside the function. This is with PHP 4.3.2 on a windows box. Perhaps its works in linux?? Easy test: function test() { class duh { var $d; } $a = new duh; // This works, } $a = new duh; // while this does not What gives? Can it be done or not, and how?
