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

Hi willbegood,

>Fatal error: Cannot redeclare rewrite() ...

You can only define a function once. That error means you have the same function twice and one copy at line 25 in test.php.

Remove a copy of "function rewrite() ... " so you only have that once. You can call the rewrite() function as many times as you want, but once declare it once in your PHP files. Otherwise it won't know which one to use.

Hope that helps!

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)
{
...
}
?>
