Redefine Built in PHP Functions

I need to override one of the standard functions of php. in javascript, I would have done it this way:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        window.alert = function(str) {
            document.write(str);
        }
        alert("hello");
    </script>

whether it is possible to do this in php?

What particular PHP function are you trying to "override"? What are you trying to achieve? — Colin Brock, Feb 10 '12 at 17:07

With the Advanced PHP Debugger PECL extension it is. See the override_function() docs.

No, there is a PHP module that can do that, but generally no.
