[PHP] User defined function problem
Hey Guys and Gals, I am having a small problem with a user defined function, I placed it in a config file and it works as expected, but the problem seems to arise only when I try to use my login script for a members area I am redeveloping. The error message that comes up is the following: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare clean_sql() (previously declared in C:\Apache2\htdocs\braille\config.php:94) in C:\Apache2\htdocs\braille\config.php on line 108 The problem is its claiming that I am trying to redeclare the function in the config file when there is only the original function. I checked in other area's where this config file is being used and I do not get this error. Nor am I including other files that have the config included in them. The problem is only in my login script. If anyone can give me a little insight into this error I would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [PHP] User defined function problem
This would be the simplest work-around I can think of.
In your config script, wrap an if around your function call:
if (!function_exists('clean_sql')) {
function clean_sql() {
...
}
}

Re: [PHP] User defined function problem
Oh, and the other obvious thing that I omitted would be to try using either the include_once() and require_once() functions wherever you include() or require() config.php. jon Stephen Lake wrote: Hey Guys and Gals, I am having a small problem with a user defined function, I placed it in a config file and it works as expected, but the problem seems to arise only when I try to use my login script for a members area I am redeveloping.

Thanks Jon,
That did the trick nicely, not sure why I didn't think of it myself but is
glad for the reminder of what that function is for. :)
Best Regards,

Re: [PHP] User defined function problem
what Jon said. but note it's better to stick your functions into a seperate 'funcs' file and include_once() or require_once() that instead. at some stage you'll have so many functions you may want to split them up into seperate 'funcs' files depending on what they do (and/or what they are used for) but for now start by creating a a single utility file that just contains functions you have written.
