RE: [PHP] Newbie Question

you have 2 functions named DBField.  This was ok until 4.3. After 4.3 you
couldn't re-declare a function like this.

PHP does not allow for overloading like Java and C++ (It looks like that's
what you are trying to do)

Check the docs for overloading.  There is some support for it but it's a bit
of a kludge. (IMHO, etc.)

Subject: [PHP] Newbie Question


Can someone explain why this code works on the hosting company's server,
but won't run on my local server? I'm not sure what version is on the
host server, but I'm running 4.0.5 locally on winXP Pro. The error says:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare dbfield() in
