[Resolved] [Resolved] module system...redeclaring functions

Danny2055

Hi,
I have a script that calls other scripts with one Main() function in each module.
that wasn't a problem when i only wanted to run one module at a time but now im trying to run one after another.. now including one module with the Main() function works, but each subsequent attempt to load a new module (that also has Main() function) creates an error...

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare Main() (previously declared in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\lotto\modules\basicstats.module.php:7) in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\lotto\modules\waitstates.module.php on line 7

is there any way to un-declare it? anything that wouldent involve renaming the function names in the modules? cheers..

you will have to rename your main functions it is the only solution.

theres gotta be another way to do it, the module system wont work otherwise because you cant call functions to which you dont know the name of them until runtime..

i.e.

require(module.php);
$result = LoadModule_$modulename();

edit: oh, you can do that, its still annoying having to rename everything though 😛

yes it is annoying but it's your first lesson in scalability.

Rename MAIN() to the Filename()

Example: testing.inc.php with main function testing()

$modname = 'testing';
include($modname.'inc.php');
$result = LoadModule_$modname();
