A switch to call a function

[liamoco]

This is the error that I am getting...

<br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function readChatOnload() in <b>C:\server\xampp\htdocs\php\chat\readChat.php</b> on line <b>18</b><br />

 

And this is my php file...

if(isset($_POST['function']))
{
$function = $_POST['function'];
switch($function)
{
	case 'readNamesOnload': 
	readNamesOnload();
	break;

	case 'readNamesLoop':
	readNamesLoop(); 
	break;

	case 'readChatOnload':
	readChatOnload(); 
	break;

	case 'readChatLoop': 
	readChatLoop(); 
	break;
}


//READ NAMES ONLOAD
function readNamesOnload()
{
	die('readNamesOnload');
}

//READ NAMES LOOP
function readNamesLoop()
{
	die('readNamesLoop');
}

//READ CHAT ONLOAD
function readChatOnload()
{
	die('readChatOnload');
}

//READ CHAT LOOP
function readChatLoop()
{
	die('readChatLoop');
}

}

 

I don't understand why this is happening.

 

Thanks

define the functions outside the IF, otherwise they are not defined before they are used above.

 

... or move the functions to above the logic that calls them, within the IF
