The best way to include php functions

Support
1

Hi,

I have written a php snippet that contains some php functions().

As of today I just included this snippet at the beginning of my Base Template:

[code][[MySnippet]]<!doctype html>

...[/code]

Today I added $modx->sendErrorPage(); in my code and it turns out that my snippet is called one more time when loading the error_page.

The problem is my snippet contains php functions I get error messages when they are called more than once.

I know I could use if(!function_exists(myFunction)) to bypass the error messages but i think this is not a neat solution. I’d prefer my snippet to be executed only once at the beginning.

I tried to put my functions in a plugin on the OnHandleRequest event but this event is also called a second time when sending to error page.

Per chance would you have other solution for me ?

Stay safe :slight_smile:

To avoid errors that functions already exists, you could put them in a file and use include_once/require_once to load that file.

Regardless though, your snippet will always run twice if your error page uses the same template as the rest.
