[SOLVED] declared functions

[cha0sriderx]

is there a way to check and see if a function is declared without getting the error message?

 

the reason why i need to find out is because the function is declared in both index.php and view.php for my news system.  The error below is what i get when i go to the view page from the index(the function is declared on both pages), but when i reload the view page i get the error that the function isnt declared.

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare rbbc() (previously declared in /home/news/index.php:2) in /home/news/view.php on line 2

When you include a file you could use 'include_once()' instead, because it actually looks like you've declared the function twice.

 

But if you want to check to see if a function does exist before using it use 'function_exists()', http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.function-exists.php

function_exists() can check that.
