    declare a function using a syntax identical to PHP/FI2 (except you
    must replace 'function' with 'old_function'.

><P
>&#13;     Functions declared as <TT
CLASS="literal"
>old_function</TT
> cannot be
     called from PHP's internal code. Among other things, this means
     you can't use them in functions such as
     <A
HREF="function.usort.html"
><B
CLASS="function"
>usort()</B
></A
>, <A
HREF="function.array-walk.html"
><B
CLASS="function"
>array_walk()</B
></A
>, and
     <A
HREF="function.register-shutdown-function.html"
><B
CLASS="function"
>register_shutdown_function()</B
></A
>. You can get
     around this limitation by writing a wrapper function (in normal
     PHP 3 form) to call the <TT
CLASS="literal"
>old_function</TT
>.
