If it was working properly the function would be callable. Your include is
probably not working - change it to "require" and see if you get an error.
Using "include" doesn't give you an error if the include file is not found.

Hi Norbert,

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, you were almost there - it wasn't quite what I
had in mind. I probably should have elaborated on this one.

I'm looking at building up a library of handy functions that can be included
in a current script.

Only problem is:
(let's just say for clarity that lib.php <==> A.php; same)..

If I declare the functions in lib.php, then B.php can include lib.php but
cannot execute any functions within B.php (that were declared in lib.php).
it keeps coming up as "function undeclared".

Any more ideas/thoughts? Or have I not gone about this correctly?

Regards,
Richie !
