bcompiler_write_function - Writes a defined function as bytecodes

SYNOPSIS
bool bcompiler_write_function (resource $filehandle, string $functionName) DESCRIPTION
Reads the bytecodes from PHP for an existing function, and writes them to the open file handle. Order is not important, (eg. if function b uses function a, and you compile it like the example below, it will work perfectly OK). PARAMETERS
o $filehandle - A file handle as returned by fopen(3). o $functionName - The function name, as a string. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 bcompiler_write_function(3) example <?php $fh = fopen("/tmp/example","w"); bcompiler_write_header($fh); bcompiler_write_function($fh,"my_function_a"); bcompiler_write_function($fh,"my_function_b"); bcompiler_write_footer($fh); fclose($fh); ?> NOTES
Warning This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk. SEE ALSO
