Parse error unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR

[.Danny]

Hello,
Sorry to be so rude and just turn up here,
But I am very pressed for time.

I tried to install your software on my webserver but I get these errors and I'm not sure why. Would someone here mind helping me out?

This one is from the index (/store)

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/content/D/html/candycoreclothing/store/classes/Tools.php on line 23

And this is from the install (store/install)

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/content/D/html/candycoreclothing/store/install/classes/LanguagesManager.php on line 7

Thankyou so much for any help given :D .
Danny.

Anyone?

Hi .Danny,

First of all, welcome to the PrestaShop Forum :)

That error is due to the fact that PrestaShop cannot run on anything older than PHP5.

Please check this thread for more details:

http://www.prestasho...opic,966.0.html

[.Danny]

Thankyou for the reply,
But I'm pretty sure I'm running php5 ???

[Peter Wilson]

First, check this list of hosting servers to see if you need to activate PHP5 manually via an .htaccess file:

http://www.prestasho...opic,714.0.html

If that doesn't work, can you tell us which version of PHP 5 you're using? For example, PHP 5.0.5 or PHP 5.2.4 ?

Thanks :)

After a closer look I see I have PHP 4.3.11  :-X

Sorry about that.

Updated to PHP 5 and all is working so far :D

Edit: Did I pin this?  ???

[Peter Wilson]

Hi Danny,

No, I did.  This is a very commonly reported error, so I changed the title and pinned it for greater visibility. :)

Mind sharing how you updated to php5?

[.Danny]

Sure.
If you have a shared sever then you just have to enable it (like I had to do).
Google is your friend, but I just saw this below this topic: http://www.prestasho...opic,714.0.html

But, if you own your own server, you will have to install it (I don't know how to do this, but I'm sure google does  ;) )

I hope I helped.

This is absolutly php4 problem. Whe we try to install Pretashop on php 4.x than firstly we recognise our domain not forwarding  to install directory. So we are trying www.example.com/install but we saw parse error. There is two solution for this problem.

1. Your host must upgrade php 5.x
2. Using php5-cgi file

I am using php5-cgi and everything seems ok for now.  :D Because my host isn't changing or upgrading  php version for me :)  So a lot of person want to know how to use php5-cgi  ???

I have learnt this solution from another e-shop solution's forum.
Step by step application.
1- Download php5-cgi.zip from rapidshare ( http://rapidshare.co...p5-cgi.zip.html )
2- Extract the file
3- From your ftp software (filezilla,cuteftp ... ) login your file server
4- In the www root you can see cgi-bin directory but my best way is you to crate another CGI named directory.
5- Upload extracted file to that directory.
6- Create or change .htaccess file and write these codes.

# start code HTACCESS
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
    php_flag short_open_tag on
</IfModule>

DirectoryIndex index.php

Action php5-cgi /cgi/php5-cgi
AddHandler php5-cgi .php

# URL rewriting module activation
RewriteEngine on

# URL rewriting rules
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*).html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$1$3 [L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ category.php?id_category=$1$3 [L,E]

# Catch 404 errors
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
# End Code HTACCESS


7- Than upload .htacces to your root directory
8- You can explore your domain (www.example.com) will forward www.example.com/install

I think everything will ok.
But then you have to read and manage standart prestashop installation steps.

Hello all,

I' ve tried all solutions given here, but still didn't manage to make it... it seems I didn't manage to switch to php5 although many attemps . My host is online.net and I tried their hotline . Their only answer ( helpfull ! lol ) was that if I didn't get php5 was because I didn' t manage to switch it on ! ( just great, when you don't need anything, just call them ! ).

There is probably something I am doing wrong, but I don't know what...can any one be kind enough to take the time to explain things to a poor little shop attendant who has two main defects :

She is no informatician

She is BLONDE !!!

Thank you ! ;-))

Eventually, I managed by MYSELF !!!! ( topic closed )

Just to clarify this issue in a simple way.

In your main prestashop folder, there is a file named htaccess.txt

Add the following in the very first line of the file.

SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5

Now reupload the htaccess.txt file.

Now the file is on the server, rename that file to .htaccess

Note the . before it, and also remove the extension .txt from the end.

Hope this helps anyone who isnt that familiar with htaccess files.

Ok,

I am new to Prestashop as I have always used OSC. However, I decided to learn more about PrestaShop because of the nice GUI that would allow my customers to access the admin side and make their own changes easily.

My problem is, I am still getting the Parse error even after making the changes suggested in this thread. If I alter the .htaccess file it comes up with an error 500 (internal server error) when I try to install Prestashop.

Is anyone else using godaddy.com to host a prestashop ? if so, was there anything special needed ???


Thanks in advance.
