My configuration (as reported by phpinfo()):
./configure --with-apxs=/opt/httpd/bin/apxs 
 --with-mysql=/usr --with-gd 
 --with-curl=/opt/curl-7.10.1/ 
 --with-pdflib=/opt/pdflib/ 
 --with-zlib --enable-inline-optimizations 
 --enable-pcntl --enable-dio --with-ncurses 
 --enable-sockets
What I did (filename 'ticks_bug_php'):
--------------- CUT HERE --------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php

	function predefined_out()
	{
		echo "Inside predefined_out()\n";
	}

	predefined_out();
	postdefined_out();

	function postdefined_out()
	{
		echo "Inside postdefined_out()\n";
	}

	declare(ticks = 1)
	{
		function predefined_in()
		{
			echo "Inside predefined_in()\n";
		}

		predefined_in();
		postdefined_in();

		function postdefined_in()
		{
			echo "Inside postdefined_in()\n";
		}
	}
?>
--------------- CUT HERE --------------------
What I expected:
 [avillaci@srv64 practica]$ ./ticks_bug_php 
 Inside predefined_out()
 Inside postdefined_out()
 Inside predefined_in()
 Inside postdefined_in()
 [avillaci@srv64 practica]$

What I got instead:

 [avillaci@srv64 practica]$ ./ticks_bug_php 
 Inside predefined_out()
 Inside postdefined_out()
 Inside predefined_in()

 Fatal error: Call to undefined function:  postdefined_in()     
 in /home/avillaci/programa/practica/ticks_bug_php on line
 25
 [avillaci@srv64 practica]$

PHP refuses to call postdefined_in() before its definition
inside the scope of 'declare(ticks=1){}', but has no problem
calling postdefined_out() before its definition, outside
the scope of 'declare(ticks=1){}'.
Any hints in solving this issue will be greatly appreciated.
