#1596 — functions in a external file

Is there a maximum number of functions that can be contained in
"require_once" php file?

I have this simple function (for testing this problem).

function GetTelephoneNumber () {

	return "123 456-6789";
}

If this function is in my main routine. No problem.
If this function is in it's own file. No problem.
If this function is in my main "function.php" file, I get the php
blank. screen. l am using firefox and don't know how to get errors.

Appreciate help and suggestions....

Thanks...

Bruce

No limit, other than the amount of code which has to be parsed.

You have another problem.  Enable error reporting and see what you get 
for an error.  You probably are not including the file properly.

Thanks for the response.

I just checked the FIreFox menu items and didn't find where to enable
error reporting.  Where do I find the option to enable error
reporting??

My main included file (functions.php} works perfectly when the above
routine NOT in it. So I would think my require_once set up must be
correct???
If I put it in another file, and include that file, the routine works.

What does your statement "No limit, other than the amount of code
which has to be parsed. " mean?  Does it mean there is file byte size
limitation??


Thanks..

Bruce

It's in your php.ini file - the browser can't do anything to control 
server-side errors.

Ensure they are actually on - set up a file with just:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

And see if your error reporting and display are really on.  They may be 
overridden - or you may be using an entirely different php.ini file than 
you think.

I thought I had changed the values but they didn't take. I had to
restart Windows to make them take effect unless restarting was
overkill..

I had some errors in use date() which I fixed and my original error
went away.

Thanks all for the help...

You don't need to restart Windows, but you do need to restart the web 
server.  Your php.ini is only read on web server startup, not every request.

Depends on the setup. If PHP runs as CGI, php.ini is read on every request.

You are just returning a value so you might need:
echo GetTelephoneNumber();
or 
function GetTelephoneNumber() {
  echo "123 456-6789";
}
The supplied code is for guideline purposes only.

This is just a test routine. The final routine has calling arguments
and accesses a mysql database to get the telephone number.

I tested your suggestions. They didn't do what I am trying to. Thanks
for sending them..

If you get a blank result, it's most likely a parse error. Check if your
error reporting is properly configured in your php.ini:

error_reporting = E_ALL|E_STRICT
display_errors = on

I have these values in my php.ini.

Yes, the blank result appears to be a parsing error BUT I can cut the
function from my main include_once("functions.php") file and paste it
into another include_once("functions2.php") file and all work good.
STRANGE to me??

Thanks for the response...

You've put the function definition inside another function definition 
because you have a mix of bracketing styles and have become confused 
about where the braces go?

No, I didn't do this. Sorry if my explanation led you to think I
did..  I have multiple functions defined with the file named
"functions.php".

It appears that all is good. Turn on error_reporting showed up a
couple of date problems.

1. I was using H in date() and not "H". Fixed.
2. The error_reporting wanted me to use date_default_timezone_set()
and not accept the default time zone. Fixed.

Still seems strange that my test routine, which had nothing within the
function definition brackets but "return '123455'; would stop all the
functions I had defined from working.

Oh, well. All's well that end's well.  Thanks to all for the help and
suggestions...

A parse error is a fatal error.  And since everything must be parsed 
before any processing takes place, no code will be executed.
