Answer 1

The problem is redeclaring the autoload handler in Twilio file. Just update the file twilio/Services/Twilio.php and when it says:

spl_autoload_register('Services_Twilio_autoload');

change it by

spl_autoload_register('Services_Twilio_autoload', false);

This way the function will omit messsages when the handler is recalled. You can also check if the handler was created prior to redeclare it. I hope it works!

Check documentation online at: http://php.net/manual/en/function.spl-autoload-register.php

Answer 2

This error will occur when you include Twilio.php more than one. The solution in selected right answer will skip throwing error messages only. That will also stop throwing other errors. Right solution- Call the twilio.php with require_once function not with require everywhere. This will not include file again if already loaded.

require_once('twilio.php');
