Question External Ad code conflicting with Kunena

I have been given this ad code by an advertising company to place on my site. When i add it to my template index.php file i get a kunena error.

<!-- begin ad tag (tile=1) -->
<?php function microtime_float() {
list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime());
return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}
$ord=microtime_float(); ?>

then there is some more ad code here specific to my site

<!-- End ad tag -->


now when i do this i get an error:

What does this mean? It seems like there is a conflict with Kuinena and the php stuff in the ad code?

I am running J1.5.9, K1.08, MySql 5.0.67, PHP 5.2.6

Any ideas?

Have you checked with the person that gave you the code?

I emailed them back and posted here the same time. Though it gave a kunena error so i thought here would be best to ask.

G'day, mate

What you could try is the following (to remove the attempted multiply-declared PHP function "microtime_float"):

is strange, microtime_float is a php function to get the server time in miliseconds, and you're not declaring it here, just using :huh:

May it be due to the changes made to it in PHP5?

Try with microtime(true) instead of microtime()

Chech php documentation about it: www.php.net/microtime

I beg to differ, johnny. The statement is a function declaration. I've searched: there is no intrinsic function microtime_float() in PHP (V4 or V5). There is, however the intrinsic function microtime() which obtains the Unix epoch time in milliseconds at the server.

The function microtime_float() is declared in kunena.parser.base.php at line 68. Attempting to declare the function a second time (as described in original question) will result in a runtime error.
