HaXe + PHP: "Cannot redeclare _hx_add()"

Question

Background

I'm porting markdown to HaXe.

Problem

HaXe's PHP generator is either totally borked, or I've done something wrong. When I try to include the generated php file containing main(), I get an error like this:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _hx_add() (previously declared in /home/owner/Projects/mdown/build/php/lib/php/Boot.class.php:13) in /home/owner/Projects/mdown/build/php/lib/php/Boot.class.php on line 842

Call Stack:
   26.8369      60580   1. {main}() php shell code:0
   26.8373     692944   2. include_once('/home/owner/Projects/mdown/build/php/mdown.php') php shell code:0
   26.8670    1713980   3. require_once('/home/owner/Projects/mdown/build/php/lib/php/Boot.class.php') /home/owner/Projects/mdown/build/php/mdown.php:0

It looks like everything loads through the SPL autoloader, which I've never really used much. I have no idea how to proceed, and google yields nothing. Any ideas?

I've put the entire source into a google code project here: http://code.google.com/p/mdown/

The PHP files in question can be found here.

Update: The error isn't happening in the autoloader callback. I can comment out the include ... line in the autoloader callback and I still get the same error.

Another update: The problem only seems to affect the interactive PHP shell. Guess it was a problem with the shell and not HaXe. I'm seeing some other weird issues now with regex and backreferences, but I think they'll have to wait until Monday.

Answer 1

As the developer of haXe/php I find very stimulating finding comments that my product could be "borked". Considering that I don't even use it but I keep to maintain it for the sake of the community it really makes me move forward with pleasure ;) .... sure it is not perfect but it is by far from being useless, broken or "borked".

Anyway, if you post some more info I am sure an easy solution will be found.
