PHP function issue on a task

Upon submitting my solution to this task, I get that the function is being pre-declared, when I am simply returning the value and assigning it to a variable. I will include my code bellow please advice further.

output.php 
<?php
include "flavor.php";
function get_flavor(){
return $flavor;}

echo "Hal's favorite flavor of ice cream is ____.";

?>

Hi Ioan, the get_flavor function is already written for us in flavor.php, just have to use it :)

You have to create the $flavor variable, and assign to it whatever is returned from calling get_flavor.

<?php
include "flavor.php";
$flavor = get_flavor();
