### PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function `<WordPress function>`

Before WP-CLI can load `wp-settings.php`, it needs to know all of the constants defined in `wp-config.php` (database connection details and so on). Because WP-CLI doesn't want WordPress to load yet when it's [pulling the constants](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/blob/master/php/wp-cli.php#L22) out of `wp-config.php`, [it uses regex](https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/blob/master/php/WP_CLI/Runner.php#L324) to strip the `require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');` statement.

If you've modified your `wp-config.php` in a way that calls WordPress functions, PHP will fail out with a fatal error, as your `wp-config.php` is calling a WordPress function before WordPress has been loaded to define it.
