   I'm trying to create my own test widget plugin like the example in Widget API, but after I activate the widget plugin and in wp-admin go to Appearance>Widgets, I get the error:

   "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare widget_myuniquewidget_register() (previously declared in /home/mycomput/public_html/test/wp-content/plugins/widgets.php:9) in /home/mycomput/public_html/test/wp-content/plugins/widgets.php on line 8"

   I'm using the code from the codex:
   

   function widget_myuniquewidget_register() {
         function widget_myuniquewidget($args) {
             extract($args);
         ?>
                 <?php echo $before_widget; ?>
                     <?php echo $before_title
                         . 'My Unique Widget'
                         . $after_title; ?>
                     Hello, World!
                 <?php echo $after_widget; ?>
         <?php
         }
         register_sidebar_widget('My Unique Widget',
             'widget_myuniquewidget');
   }
   add_action('init', widget_myuniquewidget_register);

   What am I doing wrong?

   Apparently the problem was actually just because I named my plugin file widgets.php, this for some reason causes a problem. Renaming the plugin file solved the issue.
