Classic Global function definition problem

inside the function, insert the line   global $footercontent;

Also technically, the exit command can be quite messy, a 'cleaner' method
would be to use something like

function generate_footer()
{
?>
<!-- footer -->
</BODY>
</HTML>
<?
}

and then call it at the end of your script, or if using case statements for
many functions, then call it once at the bottom
<?

// Could consider using a common header function here
switch($something)
{
    case "First_Option":
        first_code();
    break;

    case "Second_Option":
        second_thing();
    break

   default:
      content($loginID);
}
generate_footer();

?>

Hope this helps
