Hello,

I am having a problem with the following.

PHP Code:

include("pdf_micrographx.php");
$mailen = "ja";
include("pdf_micrographx.php"); 


In pdf_micrographx.php i am declaring a class. No problem.

But now i want to extend that class as follows:

PHP Code:

// Extend the TCPDF class to create custom Header and Footer 
class MYPDF extends TCPDF { 
    //Page header 
    public function Header() { 
        $this->Cell(30, 10, 'Title', 0, 0, 'C'); 
    } 
 
    // Page footer 
    public function Footer() { 
        $this->Cell(0, 10, 'Page', 0, 0, 'C'); 
    } 
} 
// create new PDF document 
$pdf = new TCPDF('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false); 


But when i do this i get an error that i have already declared my class. Seems logic to me, since i include the file twice. But what i dont understand is why i do not get that error, if i do not extend the class, and simply replace the above with:

PHP Code:

$pdf = new MYPDF('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false); 


Any suggestions as to why i only get an error when i extend the class, and how to solve the error?

thanks!

Matt

solved:

PHP Code:

// Extend the TCPDF class to create custom Header and Footer 
if (!isset($mailen)) {
 class MYPDF extends TCPDF { 
  //Page header 
  public function Header() { 
   $this->Cell(30, 10, 'Title', 0, 0, 'C'); 
  } 
   
  // Page footer 
  public function Footer() { 
   $this->Cell(0, 10, 'Page', 0, 0, 'C'); 
  } 
 } 
}
// create new PDF document 
$pdf = new MYPDF('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false);
