PHP code help

[tubheiaboy]

Hey, on my website i get that error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare quote_smart() (previously declared in /home/europea/public_html/_include-connection.php: in /home/europea/public_html/_include-connection.php on line 17

This is _include-connection:

<?php
ob_start();
$passwordthatmustbesecret = "''''";
$hostthatmustbesecret = "''''";
$usernamethatmustbesecret = "''''";
$databasethatmustbesecret = "'''''";

function quote_smart($value){
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
if(version_compare(phpversion(),"4.3.0") == "-1") {
return mysql_escape_string($value);
} else {
return mysql_real_escape_string($value);
}
} ?>

Please help me

Well apparently that's an include file, (you use include("_include-connection.php"); ) in another file.

This happens when you declare a function twice, so either you have another include that already has the quote_smart function declared, or you already declared it in your file.

Are you doing ob_start on both pages? Are you including the same file on both pages?

Try:

include_once('path-to-include-filename');

for including relevant file.

The correct way woudl be follow the advise of everyone above me, but if you want to go the hackish route....

if (!function_exists('quote_smart')) {
function quote_smart($value){
//blah blah
}
}
