Oh, sorry, apparently there are some invisible characters in the text
you pasted which I had to zap first. Yes, this does work as expected.

However, try wrapping the arse function in a class.

<?php
class TestClass
{
if ( rand(0,1) == 0 )
{
function arse()
{
echo "arse 1\n";
}
}
else
{
function arse()
{
echo "arse 2\n";
}
}

}

$myVar = new TestClass;

$myVar->arse();
?>


That fails with:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting T_FUNCTION in /
