Pete,
No, there aren't any static functions like in C because there isn't the
concept of separate modules like in C.
The C equivalent would be:
#include "myfunc1.c"
$include "myfunc2.c"
which would suffer from the same problem. But in C you can compile
"myfunc1" and "myfunc2" into different modules and have different static
functions. Unfortunately, that feature isn't available in C++.
Probably the best you could do to emulate it would be to set up
"myfunc1.php" as an external program and call it - but that's a lot of
extra effort.
If all the functions and data in "myfunc1.php" are related, you could
create a class. The same with 'myfunc2.php". Different classes can
have the same function name. If a class isn't applicable, you'll have
to change the function names so each is unique.
