when using helper from an action I get a fatal error (it used to work with symfony-beta but not with symfony-alpha). My symfony version is "version 0.9.2016" (the latest)
in the action
//...
include_once ('symfony/helper/HelperHelper.php');
use_helper('Text');
$this->test = truncate_text ($text, $length = 100, $truncate_string = '...', $truncate_lastspace = false);
//...
the error
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare use_helpers() in D:\xampplite\php\pear\symfony\helper\HelperHelper.php on line 23
