checking if number is equal or odd, but gives and error [fixed] function was in loop

[Vaupell]

trying to count, and change row colors depending on equeal or odd count.
but the counter just fails when run..

PHP Code:

$count='0';
$getcharname=$vbulletin->db->query("SELECT some query......
while($row=$vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getcharname)
 
$count++;
function checkNum($count){
 return ($count%2) ? 1 : 0;
 }
if(checkNum($count) === 1) {
 $color='silver';
 } else {
 $color='gray';
 } 
 
} 


the error im getting is

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare checkNum() (previously declared in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\emod\ewow.php:82)
