It's been suggested you do a thorough search for this function, but the
fact that PHP isn't finding it in the first place leads me to believe it
isn't there. If that's the case, I'd suggest you make up your own alt()
function that does what you think this one is doing (maybe just return
the passed variable). You'll have to decide where to put it that's
visible in all the places where it's called.
