I have no idea what you have done wrong. I am simply telling you how it
works. Create a small test script that reproduces the problem and we can
help you. What you have provided so far does not give us anything to work
with.
Try this, for example:
<?
if(true) func1();
else func2();
function func1() { echo 1; }
function func2() { echo 2; }
?>
When you run this you will see that it prints out 1 which should satisfy
you that you can safely call functions inside conditionals and have them
be defined at the bottom of your script.
Your job now is to tell us how your script differs from the above test
script, because as far as I have understood this is the exact situation
you say isn't working.
