Re: [PHP4BETA] Undocumented behavior of PHP 3.0

Not that my question is relevant anymore (since I already improved Zend to support this:), but just so you'd know what I'm talking about: function declare_foo() { function foo() { ...code... } } if ($foo_needed) { declare_foo(); foo(); } was what I was asking about. I.e., function definitions within other control structures. included files weren't relevant here, because technical reasons I'm too tired to describe right now (and it's not all that interesting anyway).
