note 34517 added to function.function-exists

Functions within a function are better off as anonymous returns from create_function(), unless you want to be able to call it elsewhere. However, I have used this in skinning: I use alert_box() to display certain errors, like a faulty SQL query. This simply calls display_alert(), which is defined in my skin scripts. However, alert_box() is sometimes called before I know which skin to load, so it has its own functionality which it uses if function_exists('display_alert') returns false. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.function-exists.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34517 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34517&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34517&report=yes
