LMinsert.php implementation

[ad]

Hello Dean,

I am trying to accomplish the following:
I want to have a script run daily by a crontab which:

1. retrieves data (orderID, email, fname, lname) of clients which have ordered 10 days ago from a database of my shopping cart hosted at X. These are typically from 3-20 sets of data.
2. stores this data in Listmail hosted at Y at the same time and sending them a welcome Email.

While it's certainly no problem to retrieve the data for 1, it's a problem for me  to store this in Listmail using your script LMinsert.php.
I get the error message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare lminsert() (previously declared in /vitamobw/www.vitamine-und-mehr.org/virility/follow/LMinsert.php:44) in /vitamobw/www.vitamine-und-mehr.org/virility/follow/LMinsert.php on line 44

The reason for this is certainly that I have tried to accomplish the whole thing by setting a loop using
.
.
.
while(I retrieve the data from database X) {
(defining parameters)
include("LMinsert.php");
}
echo "done";

... and LMinsert.php opens a new database connection while the old one is still open.
You see I am not a savvy programmer. Can you give me a hint? Do I have somehow to close the first connection before letting LMinsert.php run?

Or is there an even more elegant solution?

Thanks

Wolfgang

P.S.: I changed the script supposed to do the job by using:

include_once('LMinsert.php');

This prevented the "cant redeclare"-error to appear. Nevertheless the data is not stored in my Listmail database!

It appears that the LMinsert function is being declared twice due to inclusion.  Perhaps you have uncommented the following lines from LMinsert.php:

// Example usage:
// include('LMinsert.php');
// LMinsert.php('1',$email);

This should not be uncommented in the LMinsert.php script itself.  Rather, the LMinsert.php script should be included from another script.
