I just finished getting this script working and I need to use it multiple times in the same page. However, when I use it a second time I get the error Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_names() (previously declared. I looked around for an answer but all I could find was to use the once command but it doesn't seem to work with get. Here is the script:
<?php
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'pass') or die("Database error");
mysql_select_db('dbname', $db);
$query = "SELECT pool FROM winners";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
if ($row['pool'] % 2) {
echo "<h4>Result 1</h4>";
$names = get_names(1);
foreach($names as $name) {
echo $name . "<br/>";
}
} else {
echo "<h4>Result 2</h4>";
$names = get_names(0);
foreach($names as $name) {
echo $name . "<br/>";
}
}
function get_names($pool_result)
{
$name_array = array();
$query = "SELECT * FROM comments WHERE commentid % 2 = $pool_result";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
array_push($name_array, $row['name']);
}
return $name_array;
} ?>
