Some sort of error

[Chrismeister]

Please, help me with this.

 

I've put in everything into my server and when I go into the install folder; first thing I get is this.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /hsphere/local/home/[i]hided[/i]/oscommerce/admin/includes/classes/language.php on line 20

 

Do anyone know what this means?

Are you trying to install osc v3.0? I believe that requires php5. The most common cause of this error appears to be using php4 where php5 is required.

 

If you are trying to install osc v3, please note that your message is posted in the 2.x forum. Also note that osc3 is only a development version and not ready for production use, if you are not already aware of this.

I think Ben is right. See for example this topic.

 

The use of public and private in front of function like in osC 3 oscommerce/admin/includes/language.php (line 20):

 

    public function loadIniFile($filename = null, $comment = '#', $language_code = null) {

will cause that error when using PHP4.
