Hide section from a function
Hi, I have a section

Section "PHP" SectionPHP
...
SectionEnd

I have this code in .onInit: SectionSetText ${SectionPHP} "" And the section is hided.

If I put SectionSetText inside a Function which is placed in a .nsh file, and call that function from .onInit - the section is displayed anyway.

Why?

It might be that you hardcoded the sectionId and the include function comes before the section. The constant 'SectionPHP' gets defined when the Section is compiled; you cannot reference the defined name ${SectionPHP} before that.

If you don't want to put the function below the sections (ie, have the nsh included after the sections), you can pass the ${SectionPHP} value to the function when you call it.
