Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class soapclient

[srw134]

Running into a problem here, I have just moved my site to a dedicated platform and am getting a problem that didn't exist before, sites comes up fine, however once I try to put something in my cart I get "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class soapclient" I have read this is a conflict in the soap implementations between php and nusoap (as the problem is from the nusoap.php code - line 7239 (or the end of a bracket)). Not quite shore where the conflict is exactly and how to get rid of it. Any help would be appricated, thanks

Debian 4.0, apache2, php5, dual-core amd.

if you need any other information please ask..

thx

"cannot redeclare class" means that somewhere in your program code that class is being loaded twice.
You'll have to hunt down where it's loaded and stop it from loading a second time.
Perhaps you have duplicate or backup copies of files that are getting automatically loaded ?

Sean, look for an "include" that should be "include_once" or a "require" that should be "require_once."

At this point I have chased it down to a buysafe problem, What is weird is that this was not a problem before I moved the server, which was from Fedora 7 to Debian 4, I have sent it to them to find, we will see

I don't have a complete answer but the response I received from BuySafe support is below.
The answer is incomplete because two problems were solved and a new one arose. I was now able to successfully authenticate the seal. I was able to see the button in the shopping cart. But when I went to checkout, I got a blank screen. I'll edit this post or reply if I get the rest of the solution. This solution should also work for OsCommerce and other similar carts.

The 3 files can be downloaed from

Hello,

Here's an explanation of why you are seeing the error:

buySAFE uses the NuSOAP client, which declares 2 classes: 'soap_server'
and 'soapclient'. PHP5 comes with an optional SOAP library (compile with
'--with-soap'), which declares 2 classes: 'SoapServer' and 'SoapClient'.
On machines that have this new PHP library installed, then there exists
a namespace collision. We had to rename references to soapclient to
nusoapclient in our implementation.

To fix this, you will need to download and unzip the file that I have
attached to this message:

Save buysafe.php into \includes\modules\buySAFE\buysafe.php

Save the other two files into both

\includes\classes
\admin\includes\classes
