Cannot redeclare function_name() error

[michaelh613]

I am getting this error message

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare function_name() (previously declared in C:\Inetpub\Sites\site_name\includes\functions.php:5) in C:\Inetpub\Sites\site_name\includes\functions.php on line 27

 

Whats confusing me is this occurs for every function in functions.php and I am not duplcating them. They are only in includes\functions.php

 

Any ideas what could cause this. I've checked if I might be including it twice but verified its only in once.  I even changed my include to an include_once

 

I also tried not including it and verified that I was then getting errors that my functions were not appearing

You would need to post your code for functions.php and any code that is including it.

 

You either have the include or the function definition inside a loop or you have multiple include statements or multiple functions using the same name.
