Do you have a plugin that includes pclzip?

Replying to ryan:

I think I have. But anyway before declaring a class or function it would be good to check if it is not yet declared. Am I wrong?

You're probably right, But the plugin obviously doesnt, And older versions of the class could cause conflict issues. The only plugins which utilise the PclZip class AFAIK have been updated, The main culprit was the Automatic upgrade.

The odd part about this error message, Is that its complaining about the functions which are included AFTER the class, Generally the error is that the class has allready been defined, NOT that a function has been declared.

I'm tempted to say that it could be a corrupt file, try re-uploading the /wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php file, Else you'll have to check each plugin, Simply adding a class_exists() check wouldn't've solved this error, nor do i think theres a need for it (Due to it being this way since 2.5, and all the plugins which utilise it have been updated).

So the solution is going to be to work out which plugin is causing the issue, and notifying the author.

Plugins shouldn't be requiring pclzip on every page load.
