Fixed in CVS HEAD and PHP_5_0. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-25 15:14:21] php at trancer dot nl Mind you that such code _IS_ working PHP4 so it is breaking BC and not listed on http://www.zend.com/manual/migration5.incompatible.php As to why it could be useful.. to do recursion and not register a function in global scope. (Of course there are methods for this aswell.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-06 20:39:03] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assigned to the mastah.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-30 15:29:19] ulderico at maber dot com dot br OH! In time! Just to reinforce the first and the second paragraph of my last comment. Why would you create a function that should be invoked JUST ONCE? Initialize environment? It makes no point. You can do it directly in the code, using "if" to distinguish any situation of environment that one may have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-30 15:16:42] ulderico at maber dot com dot br IMHO, Nested Functions are BAD&WRONG, thus they should be disabled. Firstly, when you DECLARE a function inside a function, you have a redeclaration problem. Try to execute the parent function twice and most likely you'll receive a message: "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare XXXX". OK! Some may dispute: "let's create an undeclare_function() so as to allow at the end of the function undeclare the child function. It would enable to reinvoke the parent function whenever we like". Well, THIS IS ALSO B&R. Why would you undeclare a function that you're going to use? Secondly, if a function needs to work in a closed (encapsuled) environment, well, I think you need a CLASS, not a function. In a class you may have a public, private or protected variables invoked by either public, private or protected methods. Thusly, a code like this (sorry the indentation, I want to save space): class A { function b(){} function c(){} function d(){} function g(){ echo "function g - begin\n"; function f(){echo "function f\n";} echo "function g - end\n"; } } should be written like this: class A { function b(){} function c(){} function d(){} function g(){ echo "function g - begin\n"; f::f(); echo "function g - end\n"; } } class f{ function f(){echo "function f\n";} } $obj = new A(); $obj->g(); So, the rationale is, why you need to have function within function if you've got classes? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-14 01:24:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] While nested functions are maybe useful feature for someone declaration of a function inside the body of a method (which happens to be a function inside a class) is _ambigious_ . Why? There is no reserved word "method" for marking methods of a class and "function" is used so when it is between {} after class name "function" creates a method of the class. IMO "function" inside a method should not be possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
