Sandbox conflicting included scripts

[ocon]

I have a script that processes image uploads. To work it needs to include two scripts, one I write metadata to the images, and a second one allows me to upload the images to a CDN.

After much hair pulling I realized the two scripts work well, but not together.

Right now I had to divide my script in two. The first one modifies the images and saves it in a folder. Then the script passes a location header to load the second script to upload the images to the CDN. While it works it is not ideal.

I was hoping that there might be a way to isolate or sandbox the two includes so I can use them both on the same script.

You might be able to wrap one or both in a class, and then create it as an object... or if it is simple, wrap it in a function.

Alternatively, find out what's conflicting in the first, and then unset / unregister it when you finish using it - before include()ing the second.
