Can't call standalone function from within class method

[ppowell]

I have index.php that will require two files, classes.inc and formvalidation.inc

To put into scope:

1) Every PHP script will require formvalidation.inc
2) NOT EVERY PHP script will require classes.inc

Classes.inc has a class, Accepter, whose constructor will need to run a function called createErrorMsgCollection(). This function exists as a standalone function within formvalidation.inc which also contains classes.

When I try to run index.php I get this fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: createerrormsgcollection() in ../include/classes.inc on line 35

how, then, can a class constructor call a standalone function from another file? I am stumped.

Thanx
Phil

createErrorMsgCollection()!=createerrormsgcollection() ????

createerrormsgcollection() == createErrorMsgCollection(), but I don't have trouble:

<?php
function Foo(){return 42;}

class Bar
{
function Bar()
{	$this->foo=foo();
}
}

$bar=new Bar();
echo $bar->foo;

?>

And that's the same whether I define foo() in a separate file foo.php and include it, but only if I include foo.php before I declare the class Bar.
