Include multiple php scrips

I´m using on my called page two php scripts (avatar.php and items.php). In both of the php datas i have another scripts included like that:

include "../site/api-oauth-master/Client.php"; // 
include "../site/api-oauth-master/GrantType/IGrantType.php"; 
include "../site/api-oauth-master/GrantType/AuthorizationCode.php";

I get now the error:

Fatal error: Cannot declare class OAuth2\Client, because the name is already in use in /www/htdocs/xxxx/site/api-oauth-master/Client.php on line 32

The line 32 of Client.php is:

class Client
{
    /**
     * Different AUTH method
     */
    const AUTH_TYPE_URI                 = 0;
    const AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION_BASIC = 1;
    const AUTH_TYPE_FORM                = 2;

Obviusly the problem comes because the Client.php script gets included two times. I thought with "include" this shouldn´t be a problem. Any tips how the scripts can inluded two times on the same page?

Solution

  • Use include_once or require_once.

    include_once "../site/api-oauth-master/Client.php"; //

    include_once "../site/api-oauth-master/GrantType/IGrantType.php";

    include_once"../site/api-oauth-master/GrantType/AuthorizationCode.php";
