include file problems

Not that it's a major problem, but let's say I have a page with an include file with a function called printHeader(). The include file is within a subdirectory called "includes". If I format the function like this printHeader() { print("<table>\n<tr><td>".setFont("Some Text", "Arial","3","#000000")."</td></tr>\n"); print("</table>\n"); } It renders it like <table> <font face="Arial" size="3" color="#000000">Some Text</font><tr><td></td></tr> </table> Obviously, the parser is ordering the internal function call (setFont()) first. I can get around this by function printHeader() { echo ' <table> <tr><td> '; setFont("Some Text", "Arial","3","#000000"); echo ' </td></tr> </table> '; } but it's kind of a pain...
