I have a script, "registration.php", which calls require_once on the
Registrant.class file mentioned in the above error message.  The
Registrant::setPhone() method is called more than once.  Since it is
called more than once, the function "isValidPhoneNumber()" defined
within setPhone() is defined more than once, which I suspect is the
source of the problem.  Does PHP not allow you to define a function
within a function and then call the enclosing function more
than once?

Well, it kinda does, but as it doesn't limit the scope in any way there's
not really any point. Besides, it can lead to the kind of problems you're
experiencing. Just declare the two functions sequentially in your include
file.

Okay, so PHP stores all functions that are not class methods in a global namespace? Or does it even do this with methods?

Just curious so I don't depend on anything I'm used to from other languages.... thanks!
