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.
