Title: Fatal PHP errors Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Fatal PHP errors * Resolved [barthat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barthat/) * (@barthat) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-php-errors/) * I hope you can help me. I have just started to use your plugin but I noticed that I have repeated fatal errors in my php error log. * I am running WP 3.5.2alpha and php 5.4.12. The theme is a very basic twenty twelve child. * I have very few active plugins – Bullet Proof Security for one. I don#t have any active caching plugins. * I have the latest Maxmind free geoip data for ipv4 and ipv6. * The errors are * ``` [25-Mar-2013 22:36:03 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare geoip_country_code_by_name() in /home/xxx/public_html/yyy.com/wp-content/plugins/cookillian/vendor/MaxMind/geoip.inc on line 438 [25-Mar-2013 22:36:03 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function Myatu\WordPress\Cookillian\geoip_country_code_by_addr() in /home/xxx/public_html/yyy.com/wp-content/plugins/cookillian/app/Myatu/WordPress/Cookillian/Main.php on line 321 ``` * I have the following script for twitter and facebook in the footer script section in the cookillian settings * ``` !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); ``` * Do you have any ideas what could be causing the fatal error? * Thanks. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cookillian/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cookillian/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Anonymous User 4048828 * (@anonymized-4048828) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-php-errors/#post-3597112) * Hi, * It looks like another plugin already has a function called `geoip_country_code_by_name()`, or in other words, is using the same MaxMind vendor library. * I thought I had a check for this in Cookillian, but looking into this, I have not – so I considered it to be a minor bug. * I will push out a bug fix when I have the time, or if you wish to do this yourself, simply edit the file `/wp-content/plugins/cookillian/app/Myatu/WordPress/Cookillian/ Main.php` and on line 280, edit it as following: * ``` ... if (!function_exists('geoip_country_code_by_addr')) include_once $this->getPluginDir() . 'vendor/MaxMind/geoip.inc'; ... ``` * As an alternative, if possible, you can look into using the mod_geoip module for Apache by MaxMind (see [http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/mod_geoip2](http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/mod_geoip2)) as it can handle much higher traffic loads and avoids having to use the vendor library. * Thread Starter [barthat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barthat/) * (@barthat) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-php-errors/#post-3597115) * Hi Myatu, * I am not aware of any other plugin that I am using that uses MaxMind geoip data. I had a look through BulletProofSecurity and found no reference to that function. * However I am using Maxmind in Piwik but on a - different * add on domain which is under the same host user account. * Here is the list of all my active plugins * BulletProof Security Cookillian Fast Secure Contact Form Google XML Sitemaps Hotfix Limit Login Attempts Press This Reloaded WordPress Beta Tester WordPress Dashboard Twitter WordPress Database Backup WP to Twitter * I’ll try your suggested code fix and then look into the mod_geoip module. I am on a shared server so I’m not sure how straightforward that will be. * Thanks. * Thread Starter [barthat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barthat/) * (@barthat) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-php-errors/#post-3597121) * Unfortunately the code change didn’t work. * Here are the errors * ``` [26-Mar-2013 10:33:08 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare geoip_country_code_by_name() in /home/xxx/public_html/yyy.com/wp-content/plugins/cookillian/vendor/MaxMind/geoip.inc on line 438 [26-Mar-2013 10:33:08 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function Myatu\WordPress\Cookillian\geoip_country_code_by_addr() in /home/xxx/public_html/yyy.com/wp-content/plugins/cookillian/app/Myatu/WordPress/Cookillian/Main.php on line 323 ``` * Line 323 in my modified Main.php is … * `$country = geoip_country_code_by_addr($this->maxmind_db, $ip);` * To eliminate the possibility (in my mind at least) that the cause was related to the .htaccess file changes that BulletProofsecurity makes I slected default htaccess in that plugin, cleared the cache, and reloaded the page.
