Using simplehtmldom in singlepage

Permalink
Hi all,

I've spent the evening getting my head around using simplehtmldom to import HTML from an external site and when used just in a standalone PHP file it worked beautifully using the following:

<?php
require_once 'libs/simple_html_dom.php';
$ladderpage = file_get_html('http://www.foxsportspulse.com/comp_info.cgi?a=LADDER&compID=390941&c=1-6208-0-0-0');
$ladder = $ladderpage->find('table', 0);
$ladderdata = array();
foreach($ladder->find('tr') as $ladderrow) {
    // initialize array to store the cell data from each row
    $ladderlist = array();
    foreach($ladderrow->find('td') as $cell) {
        // push the cell's text to the array
        $ladderlist[] = $cell->plaintext;
    }
    $ladderdata[] = $ladderlist;
}
echo '<table>';
Viewing 15 lines of 23 lines. View entire code block.


However as soon as I dropped the code into my singlepage I get the following error:

Cannot redeclare file_get_html() (previously declared in C:\Users\Richard\Dropbox\NextCode Creative\Website Design\Test Sites\Traralgon Football Club\concrete\vendor\sunra\php-simple-html-dom-parser\Src\Sunra\PhpSimple\simplehtmldom_1_5\simple_html_dom.php:70)


By looking into it a bit deeper I see that Concrete5 actually uses simplehtmldom as noted in the error but I'm not sure how to get around this.

I am still bit of noob when it comes to PHP and have just about exhausted my troubleshooting abilities.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
