Help with Classes

[liquidchild]

Can someone please tell me if you require to include a class before you can instantiate it with the include() function, as if i include say error.php in mysqlconn.php and then create a new file login.php and include both mysqlconn.php and error.php it complains as shown:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class errorlogging in C:\Intranet\php\errorLogging\ErrorLogging.php on line 8

is this because it appears in both files, do i even need to include or should i be doiong it some other way?

Again Thanks in advance!

from what I can make out, your function has been declared with in your script or class for that matter, why do you want to create a new or redeclare the same function?

Just strict your class definition to one file and include that file into other files when needed.
And you better use require_once,or include_once to make sure the page that includes your class definition is included only for one time..

More than one causes such an error..
