Redeclare class

[Anon]

Hi folks:

Would anyone please tell me how to solve this problem!

I have 2 classes, says Header and Footer both extend class MainPage as follow:

class MainPage {
...
}

class Header extends MainPage {
...
}

class Footer extends MainPage {
...
}

Then, I try to create the Header and Footer in Home class.

class Home {
...
function load() {
$header = new Header();
$footer = new Footer();

 $header->render();
 $footer->render(); 

}
}

If I run a php file to call the $home->load() function, I get "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class mainpage in mainpage.php". I thought header and footer were two different instance. Why there is a problem?

Thanks in advance!

It could be that you have declared a class Header which is already a PHP function. When you create it you call "new Header()" which could be causing the parser some confusion.
