Can I dynamically name a class?
I have written a process which calls about 6 pages that generate pdfs through tcpdf. They all use the same header page which makes a class.
class myPDF extends TCPDF {
the problem is when i run my script I get Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class myPDF in after the first page is done.
I understand why but am at a loss how to deal with it.
calling it only once is no good as it holds a function which looks at page specific variables.
I also don't think I can UNdeclare it in anyway.
Once way would be to change the class name for each include but not sure how to make the class name a variable?
ie class $newname
Any ideas

Added this
class myPDF extends TCPDF {
public function Header () {
global $title;
global $client;
global $host;
$oMulticell->multiCell(266,8, "<s1>$title Client:</s1> <s2>$client</s2> <s1>Host:</s1> <s2>$host</s2> <s1>Currency:</s1> <s2>$currency</s2> <s1>Reporting Period:</s1> <s2>$start_date_rep to $end_date_rep</s2>", 'TB');
}
You can't. Class definition has to be parsable in compile-time, and not in run-time. You can't make a "dynamic" class name.
include_once(); should fix your problem.
