Conditionally define a function in php

[Quinten Carlson]

Is there a way to conditionally define a function in php?

I'm trying to run a php page 10 times using the include statement, but I get
an error because my function is already defined. The docs state that a
function cannot be undefined and adding "exit" to the included page doesn't
free it up either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks CC, I dropped the function into an include and require_once'd it.
Works like a charm!
