unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

samuelsolisch

I've installed Editor-PHP-1.7.0 on my server, but I got a error running every editor example. I'm using 5.6.32 PHP version.

The link is :

http://safe-systems.net/digi-access/Editor-1.7.0/examples/simple/simple.html

In the browser network inspector I found a 500 error

I've check a server log and a got this error message:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or '(' in /home1/safesys1/public_html/digi-access/Editor-1.7.0/examples/php/staff.php on line 12

Before this installation I installed on XAMPP in my laptop running editor examples without a problem. I using same PHP version as 5.6.32 used in my hosting server.

I'll appreciate your help

It sounds very much like the web server is actually running PHP 5.2 or older. The use statement for namespaces was introduced in 5.3 and older versions throw the error you noted above when they encounter that code.

It would be worth creating a phpinfo() file on your server as that will tell you the exact version being used.

You're right, although php version that shows using phpinfo () was 5.6.32. So, to be sure about php version, I wrote the following directive in .htaccess

Application AddHandler / x-httpd-php56 .php

And so, the problem was solved

Thanks for your help
