Functions with identical names - how to call them.


enveetee

Recommended Posts

I have several scripts which contain the exact same function name and accept the same number of arguments

 

example

 

script1.php

<?php

function DoThis($arg1){

.

.

}

?>

 

script2.php

<?php

function DoThis($arg1){

.

.

}

?>

 

script3.php

<?php

function DoThis($arg1){

.

.

}

?>

 

What syntax should I use (if indeed i can) to call each one. Is it something to do with NAMESPACE?

 

Thanks

assuming @requinix is correct, I would say:

 

Three functions that take the same parameters and do the same thing = two functions too many.

Three functions that take the same parameters but do different things = three different functions that should have three unique names.

Three functions that take the same parameters and do the same thing, but depend on context = use namespaces.
