'Php, include 2 files with functions "cannot redeclare"

I have two systems in my websites: Wordpress and myBB forum. I want to connect them, everyone who register in wordpress (my main site) will be registered in myBB.

I started to write plugin that will be bridge. and i have the global file of myBB, when I include this file i see this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_attachment_icon() ...

Now, how can I include the file but keep the functions seperate? can I include the functions into namespace or variable?

Thanks for help!

Solution 1:[1]

You could:

  1. Create a class and turn this functions in static methods
  2. Rewrite the name of the functions and refactor the code
  3. Or you can try this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23426311/1906372

Solution 2:[2]

Is the function get_attachment_icon really declared in both WP and MyBB? It seems unlikely somehow.

If it is in a single file, then that file has to be included or required with include_once or require_once, not with include or require.
