[PHP] function getting redeclared

[Erik Price]

Hi,

I have a problem where I am getting the following error, and I was wondering if anyone has seen this one before and can help me out.

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare isvalidphonenumber() (previously declared in /home/bluekomo/public_html//classes/Registrant.class:360) in /home/bluekomo/public_html//classes/Registrant.class on line 360"

I have a script, "registration.php", which calls require_once on the Registrant.class file mentioned in the above error message. The Registrant::setPhone() method is called more than once. Since it is called more than once, the function "isValidPhoneNumber()" defined within setPhone() is defined more than once, which I suspect is the source of the problem. Does PHP not allow you to define a function within a function and then call the enclosing function more than once? Here is the relevant section of code:

354 /**
355 * sets the phone property
356 */
357 function setPhone($phone) {
358 // TODO: determine if these formats are acceptable
359 // TODO: account for extensions (separate form field?)
360 function isValidPhoneNumber($num) {
361 $valid = false;
362 if (preg_match('!\d{9,9}!', $num)) {
363 $valid = true;
364 }
365 if (preg_match('!\(?\d\d\d\)?-?\s*\d\d\d-?\s*\d\d\d\d!',
366 $num)) {
367
368 $valid = true;
369 }
370
371 return $valid;
372 }
373
374 if (isValidPhoneNumber($phone)) {
375 $this->phone = $phone;
376 }
377 }


I am using PHP 4.3.0 on a RedHat machine with Apache 1.3.x.

Thanks for your help, it's been a while since I've used PHP!


Erik
