Cannot redeclare unixdate()

[btanweer]

I am trying to install an application on my server but I am getting this error message.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare unixdate() in /home/patna/public_html/domain/common/lib/adodb.inc.php on line 1219

I have looked at the code but could not figure out the problem. Can anyone help me resolve this problem? I have listed the code below.

/**
Also in ADORecordSet.
@ $v is a date string in YYYY-MM-DD format

@return date in unix timestamp format, or 0 if before 1970, or false if invalid date format
*/
function UnixDate($v)
{
if (!preg_match( "|^{([0-9]{4})[-/.]?([0-9]{1,2})[-/.]?([0-9]{1,2})$|",}
($v), $rr)) return false;

	if ($rr[1] <= 1970) return 0;
	// h-m-s-MM-DD-YY
	return mktime(0,0,0,$rr[2],$rr[3],$rr[1]);
}

Thanks

think that means that unixdate() is already used as part of PHP - it'd be like trying to define a function called isset()...

but no it's not in the manual, so i think that means that you might have declared it already. is it possible you're calling the .inc twice by accident or something?

use
require_once or include_once to prevent problems with it...

anyway in a clean code this is not needed!
