Call to undefined function - but it IS defined... help?

[dpenguin71]

Lines 84-88:
 

if (empty($_POST['HomeInfo'])) {
$infoErr = "Information about your home is required. ";
} else {
$HomeInfo = test_input($_POST['HomeInfo']);
}

Lines 120-125:
 

function test_input($data) {
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
return $data;
}

So, why is it saying it is undefined, when it clearly is defined? And, more importantly,
how do I fix it?

Lines 120-125 are probably inside of a conditional statement, so that they don't become defined until that conditional statement is true.

 

function definitions should all be grouped together and come near the start of your code or even be in a separate file that gets included near the start of your code.

Thank you!

 

I moved the function definition to the top of the file and it worked great. I don't know why I didn't think of that before, but I appreciate the suggestion!!
