Fatal error - help needed!

[valkyrjan]

Hi all,

 

I was trying to update Tapatalk (from 3.9 to 4.2) on my forum (phpBB 3.0.12) and I get this error when I get to the external installer link (if anyone here's familiar with Tapatalk?) 

 

 

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_tapatlk_location() (previously declared in /forum/mobiquo/include/function_hook.php:4) /forum/mobiquo/hook/function_hook.php on line 62

 

Here is some of the code from that file, starting at line 50 going down to 62.

 break;
        case "viewonline.php":
            $param_arr['location'] = 'online';
            break;
        default:
            $param_arr['location'] = 'index';
            break;
    }
    $queryString = http_build_query($param_arr);
    $url = generate_board_url() . '/?' .$queryString;
    $url = preg_replace('/^(http|https)/isU', 'tapatalk', $url);
    return $url;
    }

Any ideas?

The error says the get_tapatlk_location() function has been declared twice. Once in include/function_hook.php on line 4 and a second time in hook/function_hook.php on line 62 (notice the different folder names).

 

The lines of code you have posted is not the problem. You need to remove the duplicate function declaration to clear the errors. Function names should be unique and only be declared once.

Replace the "include" for "include_once" if only include a file for use their functions.

Thanks - I removed the duplicate function from hook/function_hook.php, but then it brings up the same error for a different function in that file. The location function and this second one are the only contents of hook/function_hook.php, so there would be nothing left if I were to remove them both and, since this is supposed to be an automatic update package, I assume it's supposed to be there?

Sounds to me hook/function_hook.php is a  copy of include/function_hook.php. If you comment out the include/require for hook/function_hook.php does your app continue to function correctly?

I checked the include/function_hook and it was exactly the same as the hook/function_hook, so I deleted the former and I could carry on with the install. I think it's working fine now, thanks for the help!
