CivicRM - Pear conflict with Drupal Flashvideo module
May 17, 2009, 09:53:51 am
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _pear_call_destructors() (previously declared in /var/www/vhosts/"site url"/httpdocs/cms/sites/all/modules/flashvideo/drivers/Storage3/PEAR.php:759) in /var/www/vhosts/"site url"/httpdocs/cms/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/PEAR.php on line 806

I am getting this message when I try to configure the Flash video module.

I am not a programmer but I understand that both modules are calling up the same functions and cause a fatal error. Is there something I can do to make the two modules play nice? Comment something out or apply a patch.

This error message also appears when other Drupal modules user PEAR. Would it be possible to change the CIVICRM module so that is doesn't cause this fatal error?

You'll have to seek some assistance from some programmer friends and see if you can come up with a patch that will help multiple drupal modules coexist together if they use PEAR. We dont use any of those modules and hence cannot help out

I'm curious, the error message states that "Cannot redeclare _pear_call_destructors". Functions that were declared in civicrm/packages/PEAR.php cause a conflict with flashvideo/drivers/Storage3/PEAR.php.

Shouldn't the civicRm module be coded so that it doesn't cause this type of conflict with other Drupal modules? Or maybe vice versa?

We do use require_once in all our calls to ensure a file is loaded only once. You might want to check the code in the flash storage drivers and ensure that it does the same

Maybe I'll give that a shot later.

Just copy the syntax from the civicrm pear file, right. :-\

check this thread for a potential fix (a bit hacky, but works)
