Multiple use of 'include'?

[Anon]

In one of my webpages I use the 'include' function several times to display various PHP files (and some HTML files).

My problem is that some of the PHP files (that I'm including) have user-defined functions with the same name, which is causing an error telling me that the user-defined function cannot be redeclared.

Is there a way that I can get around this problem?, eg. by putting something at the end of my various PHP files that'll remove my user-defined functions.....

Put your function declaration inside an if statement like so:

if(!function_exists("functionname")) {
    function functionname() {
        ...
}
}
