Cannot redeclare set_max_bar_length() error

I've just installed and tried to setup. After done, I tried to access it thru the preview in settings... Then it came out an error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare set_max_bar_length() in /home/poll/include/class_poll.php on line 116

I tried to put the html code thing on the webpage but it still had the same error. I didn't touch the code and the deeply settings... What is this about?

i got the same error, please help!

Hello,

I also was receiving the error you are seeing:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare set_max_bar_length() ... on line 116

Being new to PHP, I had just installed the latest version of PHP (v4.3) as well as the Advanced Poll scripts. After reading a few posts here, I decided to download and install the prior version of PHP (v4.2) and sure enough, it solves the problem.

I don't know enough about PHP to know if the problem is a bug in the latest PHP or the Advanced Poll software, but there is definitely an incompatibility. You should be able to find an installer for PHP 4.2 on the web somewhere. Put that on and you'll be all set.

Cheers,

Michael

Me too. I guess nobody knows or will answer this. This must be the end of the line for this script as we know it.

Did anyone find out about this fault

Okay, here's the solution for this:

Edit class_poll.php in textfile/include.

There are two declarations of
function set_max_bar_height($max_bar_height='')

search for this term.

Comment out the second declaration!

So that you have:

// Leave this one alone
function set_max_bar_height($max_bar_height='') {
if ($max_bar_height && $max_bar_height>0) {
$this->pollvars['img_height'] = $max_bar_height;
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

// Comment out this one
/*
function set_max_bar_length($max_bar_length='') {
if ($max_bar_length && $max_bar_length>0) {
$this->pollvars['img_length'] = $max_bar_length;
}
return $this->pollvars['img_length'];
}
*/

Solution is found one post above

Thorsten,

Thank you so much for fixing this vexing problem. Your step-by-step directions really helped. It is appreciated.

Hey, it works man! Thanks!
I didn't understand what you meant with "Command out".
It just means delete... (I'm Dutch)
