I need someone to look at a php error

Im sure its pretty basic

i have an error on a script ive installed

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare date_format() in /home/thedp/public_html/lib/lib_common.php on line 279

can anyone help

 

i think you have included the php script twice

please read about
include_once() or require_once()

 

im guessing that was just a post count answer

anyone able to help?

ive got a few $ in my paypal

if anyone can help il send it them

 

that was not a post count answer,, you should actually read up about those. also, if you could include your php code, you may get more help.

he was correct in saying that you may be including files twice, because what your error is saying is that something has been said, and then something is trying to either say it again, or is trying to change it. There are certain things in php that do not allow a redclaration or change, so they return an error. This seems to be one of them.

 

its too simple.. date_format() is a php date/time function and you created a function with that name also..

another post... hahaha

 

apologies, i knw nothing about php and it just seemed like a generic answer

ok so any suggestions to what i should do

thanx for your help!!

2 types of people i love
coders and graphics people

 

First off, post your PHP code so we can see exactly whats calling the error. Unless aqlx86 knows the error right off the bat.

 

What script is this? Maybe I can install it for you.

 

basically you just need to rename that function if thats the problem.. like dateFormat or DateFormat

 

found the solution

i had to do a global search and replace

@aqlx86
thanx alot mate
