}
..,aNewFn(); // Calling other function..,
...
..
while(){..,
..,
}
..,
}

function b{
..,
..if($test){ //testing condition.,
}
..,aNewFn2(); // Calling other function..,
...
..
while(){..,
..,
}
..,
}

}//End of Class.,


************************************************************ *******************************************
getFnContent.php //Now I need a function such as .,
**********************

$tmpFnContent = getFunctionContents("allFunctions.php","clsA","a") ;
echo "Function 'a' in Class 'clsA' has".$tmpFnContent ;

If you want to examine the file without loading it into the current
namespace then try token_get_all(), alternatively include the file and
use function_exists() / method_exists() or the reflection API - see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.reflection.php
