PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function even though function is defined in included file

Question

main.php requires 2 files:

require './functions/fileA.php';
require './functions/fileB.php';

fileA.pgp as a function

function doecho($url){echo $url}

In fileB.php, I have a function that calls the doecho function

function withinBfunction($url){doecho($url);}

But I get this error,

Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl().

However, if, in fileB.php I call the doecho function outside any function, it works. It seems that the functions in fileB.php cannot access the functions on fileA.php

I took a look at this post (PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function when function is defined) but the difference is that I am not using classes. Any ideas how I could solve this?

Oh, and, yes, I have turned on the php error log with (error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED) and all I get is that "call to undefined function".

I think you should use two dots for one directory up like: Include '../directory name';
