[Not a bug] Fatal Error Cannot redeclare zen_js_zone_list()

**Dave224** · 15 Jun 2022, 07:14 PM

Encountered the subject error while in admin editing a product. The error log follows:

Code:

[15-Jun-2022 13:23:10 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare zen_js_zone_list() (previously declared in /path to store/includes/functions/functions_general.php:1145) in /path to admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 190

I might be able to put the admin function in an if(!function_exists(zen_js_zone_list)) block but the code is different in the admin from that in the store side. I recently added the USPS Address Validation add-on which may use the function.

Suggestions appreciated. Thank you!

Dave

This subforum is for bugs in Zen Cart. This looks like a bug with the modifications you have made.

Well maybe, but I see I've got another can't redeclare function fatal error on the test server. The error log is:

Code:

[15-Jun-2022 13:22:12 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare zen_update_products_price_sorter() (previously declared in /path to admin/includes/functions/general.php:2796) in /path to store/includes/functions/functions_prices.php on line 1496

In both cases I had the store side and admin side open in the browser in different tabs. Is this verbotten? Will this happen if a customer is browsing and I enter admin?

A quick search for calls to the function zen_js_zone_list showed no direct calls to the function from USPS Address Validation add-in. I will try to find the steps I took to recreate the error(s).

BTW, zc157c, php 8.0.2, mysql 8.0.28, lots of add-ins and some custom code.

Obviously not. This works fine on an unmodified copy of Zen Cart 1.5.7d.

If you believe you have found a bug in Zen Cart, please duplicate it on an unmodified version of Zen Cart 1.5.7d and then post repro instructions. What you are posting here is errors caused by your changes.

If you need help fixing those, no problem - but don't post it in the Bug Reports subforum.
