type redefinition

[hastingsdirect]

I am creating a class that contains no public variables to be used in a linked list but when i try to use the class in the functions to "get" and "set" the data i am getting a type redefinition error, am i making a stupid error?

class details {
private:
	string publisher;
	int isbn;
	string title;
	string author;
	string editor;
	string date;
public:
	string getPublisher();
	int getIsbn();
	string getTitle();
	string getAuthor();
	string getEditor();
	string getDate();

	void setPublisher(string value);
	void setIsbn(int value);
	void setTitle(string value);
	void setAuthor(string value);
	void setEditor(string value);
	void setDate(string value);
};

//get details
string details::getPublisher(){
	return publisher;
}
int details::getIsbn(){
	return isbn;
}
string details::getTitle(){
	return title;
}
string details::getAuthor(){
	return author;
}
string details::getEditor(){
	return editor;
}
string details::getDate(){
	return date;
}

//set details
void details::setPublisher(string value){
	publisher = value;
}
void details::setIsbn(int value){
	isbn = value;
}
void details::setTitle(string value){
	title = value;
}
void details::setAuthor(string value){
	author = value;
}
void details::setEditor(string value){
	editor = value;
}
void details::setDate(string value){
	date = value;
}

What is the actual, full error? Don't paraphrase it -- post the whole thing. Also tell us what line it's on.

The only thing I can think of is that you are including the header multiple times.

See section 3: http://cplusplus.com/forum/articles/10627/#msg49679

Ah i see thanks, that link explained why, i was including it in another header and then also including the header containing this class and the other header including this class in my main cpp file, Thanks Disch
