[thelist] PHP "cannot redeclare" function

[Barney Carroll]

Hey folks, slowly building myself a little PHP framework to simplify site
building/management. It's a very fun experience, and I'm learning all the
time. However I just got stumped when I received this as output after
writing myself a really basic function:

*Fatal error*: Cannot redeclare httpref() (previously declared in
E:\domains\a\antonio\user\htdocs\data.php:11) in *
E:\domains\a\antonio\user\htdocs\data.php* on line *13*

Lines 11 to 13 of data.php are as follows:

  function httpref($url){
    return stristr($url, "\htdocs");
  }

There is nothing else anywhere by the name of httpref. I can't see how this
ultrabasic function can conflict with itself. Is this the server's
roundabout way of telling me I can't write functions?
