Suddenly, I'm getting a Fatal error: Cannot redeclare

I'm getting a strange error on a piece of code that used to work perfectly before, but suddenly started pushing out errors...

That's the releavant code:

function cmp($a, $b) {
if ($a == $b) {
    return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}

function getFileList($dir)
{
   // array to hold return value
$retval = array();

// add trailing slash if missing
if(substr($dir, -1) != "/") $dir .= "/";

// open pointer to directory and read list of files
$d = @dir($dir) or die("getFileList: Failed opening directory $dir for reading");
while(false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
  // skip hidden files
  if($entry[0] == ".") continue;
  if(is_dir("$dir$entry")) {
    $retval[] = array(
      "name" => "$dir$entry/",
      "type" => filetype("$dir$entry"),
      "size" => 0,
      "lastmod" => filemtime("$dir$entry")
    );
  } elseif(is_readable("$dir$entry")) {
    $retval[] = array(
      "name" => "$dir$entry",
      "type" => mime_content_type("$dir$entry"),
      "size" => filesize("$dir$entry"),
      "lastmod" => filemtime("$dir$entry")
    );
  }
}
$d->close();

uasort($retval, 'cmp');
return $retval;
}

and the error I'm getting is:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cmp() (previously declared in /store/cpanel/home/martinak/public_html/modules/mod_supersized/mod_supersized.php:3) in /store/cpanel/home/martinak/public_html/modules/mod_supersized/mod_supersized.php on line 8

Now, the code above does start on line 3 as stated in the error, but line 8 containst just the "}".

As stated the code used to work, it hasn't been changed, and just stopped working after months. Could it be a server configuration problem? Any ideas?

Thanks! S.

UPDATE:

I'm so sorry guys. I just realized my client messed up my code. I hate when people try to fix things without having the knowledge to do so and then cry for help when they mess it up.

I apologize for wasting your time, I hope you'll forgive me.

Looks like you've included this file twice. Just switch from require()/include() to require_once()/include_once().

The only possible explanation is that you are including the same file more than once. Change your include or require to include_once and require_once.

maybe you use require in other files and there exists cmp function already

You are defining the cmp() function TWO (or more) times. maybe you included THIS piece of code more than one time...
