    You have a class of the same name declared more than once. Maybe via multiple includes. When including other files you need to use something like

    include_once "something.php";

    to prevent multiple inclusions. It's very easy for this to happen, though not always obvious, since you could have a long chain of files being included by one another.

    This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and resolving this error in PHP applications. The ‘Cannot redeclare class’ error happens when a PHP script includes a class file multiple times, leading to a clash in the declaration.
    As you can see, the provided PHP scripts result in a Fatal Error that says "Cannot declare class sampleclass, because the name is already in use". The error occurred even though the class name was written once in a file because the index.php file load 2 different PHP scripts that loads the sample class file script.
    As Pekka and Techpriester both pointed out: no, you cannot. However, if you're using PHP >= 5.3, then you can use namespaces and the "use" construct to effectively "redeclare" the class. Here's an example: Thus, you've got your desired result, as MyClass now refers to your namespaced class.
    By using include_once() and require_once(), properly setting up autoloading, and adhering to namespacing conventions, you can avoid class redeclaration conflicts. Furthermore, routine maintenance like cache clearing, dependencies updates, and using a proper PHP configuration will keep your application running smoothly.
