Error in snippet to update checkout label

    I’m trying to update the label on the billing_phone field using the following code snippet:

    // Hook in
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields($fields) {
     $fields['billing']['billing_phone']['label'] = 'Phone (10 digits only - i.e. 216555111) ';
     return $fields;
}

    I’ve gotten the base code here from a couple WooCommerce sources (this is one: https://woocommerce.com/posts/customize-checkout-fields-woocommerce/) so I’m pretty sure my hooks are correct. But when I try to Save & Activate this snippet I get the error:

    The snippet has been deactivated due to an error on line 6:

Cannot redeclare function custom_override_checkout_fields.

    (line 6 is the line beginning $fields in the function)

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    It looks like you might already have a function with that name running on your site.

    I always recommend using anonymous functions where possible:

    // Hook in
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', function ($fields) {
     $fields['billing']['billing_phone']['label'] = 'Phone (10 digits only - i.e. 216555111) ';
     return $fields;
} );

    Thanks! That did indeed solve my issue! Leave it to a lay person to not understanding that trying to call/declare the same function in multiple snippets wouldn’t work. Marking this as solved!
