Hello i'm building “Filterable” Portfolio with jQuery, and i need to play with cleaning string stuff

I have an editor call "Tags" with only one field call "tag"
I have no problem to display my list of "tag" using the code bellow:

<?php foreach ($tags_musiqueRecords as $record): ?>
<?php echo $record['tag'] ?><br/>
<br/>
<?php endforeach; ?>

What i want to do is to use the function bellow to clean my string (tag), for example remove accent, replace spaces by "-"...
See the function bellow

function rewrite($label)
{
$search = array ('@[éèêëÊË]@i','@[àâäÂÄ]@i','@[îïÎÏ]@i','@[ûùüÛÜ]@i','@[ôöÔÖ]@i',
'@[ç]@i','@[^a-zA-Z0-9]@');
$replace = array ('e','a','i','u','o','c',' ');
$label = preg_replace($search, $replace, $label);
$label = strtolower($label); // lowercase
$label = str_replace(" ",'-',$label); //
$label = preg_replace('#\-+#','-',$label); //
$label = preg_replace('#([-]+)#','-',$label);
trim($label,'-'); //

return $label
}


Here is what i have tryed and it doesn't work

<?php foreach ($tags_musiqueRecords as $record): ?>
<?php
$label=$record['tag'];
function rewrite($label)
{
$search = array ('@[éèêëÊË]@i','@[àâäÂÄ]@i','@[îïÎÏ]@i','@[ûùüÛÜ]@i','@[ôöÔÖ]@i',
'@[ç]@i','@[^a-zA-Z0-9]@');
$replace = array ('e','a','i','u','o','c',' ');
$label = preg_replace($search, $replace, $label);
$label = strtolower($label);
$label = str_replace(" ",'-',$label);
$label = preg_replace('#\-+#','-',$label);
$label = preg_replace('#([-]+)#','-',$label);
trim($label,'-');

return $label;
}
?>




<br/>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Here is the returned error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare rewrite() (previously declared in /var/www/vhosts/......./test.php:25) in /var/www/vhosts/........./test.php on line 25

That code didn't get posted? You can try attaching it as a file if needed.

Double check any other files that are include()'d or require()'d from your file and that they don't have a copy of that function. That error definitely means that PHP has seen two copies of a function with the same name.

Hope that helps!

If you're still getting that error try renaming the function rewrite2.

Let me know if that fixes it for you.

Oh, I see. It's because you are declaring the function inside a foreach loop. So each "loop" it's declared again. Try putting it at the top of your script:

<?php
function rewrite($label)
{
...
}
?>
