There may be another solution for replacing functions by changing usage of them like this ;

function function1(){
 echo "1";
}

function function2(){
 echo "2";
}

if(FUNCTION_CHOOSER_CONDITION) $the_function = "function2";
else $the_function="function1";
$the_function(); //  displays 2 if condition is TRUE;

Maybe this not for you in this situation as you wanted to destroy the function but i though this is right place to talk about replacement of functions.
