I know it would be very easy to change one of the class names, but I'm restricted because I'm working with legacy working code and an interface definition that cannot change either, here are the php files, how can I resolve this?, any help appreciated.
If it's legacy code and this is how it was, that means it never
worked properly, because you can't redeclare classes or functions by
the same name. That said, if you're restricted from changing the
class names, how about wrapping the classes with a !class_exists()
call?
