Error in national flags mod after PHP upgrade.

[Novation]

After upgrading php 5.3.10 to 5.6.8, i have an error from the national flags mod...

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare check_for_file() (previously declared in forum\includes\functions_flag.php:24) in forum\includes\functions_flag.php on line 34

I have double/triple checked all my coding and there is nothing out of place from the installation guide.

If i remove the index.php entry to include functions_flag, the error disappears.

Code: Select all

function check_for_file()
{
   global $user, $phpEx, $phpbb_root_path;
   
   $lang_path = $phpbb_root_path . '/language/' . $user->data['user_lang'] . '/';
   $file = 'flag_lang' . $phpEx;
   // check for the lang file being there
   if (file_exists($lang_path . $file))
   {
      return true;
   }
   return false;
}

The closing tag below return false; is line 34

Hope someone can help.

I finally solved this problem.

National flags is setup for mchat on my forum. I removed the national flags include entries from within mchat and placed them into my portal index instead.

It took two days to locate the issue, but i got there in the end
