Well, that's quite a brilliant solution, but the goal was to use one and
only one function substituting xyz, but you've used three. This was my fault
since I couldn't describe the task correctly. English isn't my native
language and it was late in the evening... Let me try to rephrase the
question:

<?php
$i++;
if($i<=9)
xyz (__FILE__) ;
else
echo $i;
?>

Alter the code above so that the output is 10. Alter the code by replacing
xyz with a single function or construct call. Adding parameters or functions
is not allowed.

Perhaps this sets strict enough conditions for the puzzle. :)
