Description Nayef 2006-11-12 17:26:29 UTC

Hi

I never edited Exceptions.php
Now I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or
T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in
/home/nayef/public_html/mwiki/includes/Exception.php on line 114

I have a project due 15 days, PLEASE PLEASE help me.

Thanks,

Did you change something? Did the PHP configuration change? This error is
specific for PHP 4, while recent MediaWiki version support only PHP 5.

Comment 2 Nayef 2006-11-12 21:31:36 UTC

I've downloaded this in around July. I dont know which PHP version it was
compatible with.

2 days ago, I installed GD Image Libraries.. Could that be the problem?
Should I try removing them, or maybe de-upgrading php5 to php4 and see if it works?

Comment 3 Rob Church 2006-11-12 23:16:25 UTC

The problem *appears* to be that the PHP version MediaWiki is now running as is
less than 5.x. MediaWiki 1.7 and above require at least PHP 5.0.x and 5.1.x is
strongly recommended. Rotem's trying to help you work out whether something
degraded in the environment which would cause this apparent jump.

Comment 4 Nayef 2006-11-13 04:54:52 UTC

I de-upgraded PHP to PHP 4.. and re-upgraded to 5, it worked :)

Thx
