RE: [PHP-DB] parse/fatal errors

Unless you show us the offending source code indicated by the error message, we can't help -----Original Message----- From: Joe.Warner@smed.com [mailto:Joe.Warner@smed.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 12:31 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] parse/fatal errors Hi, I'm trying to get a BBS <http://phpboard.thelinuxcommunity.org/> running on our intranet and I'm experiencing a lot of difficulty. I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 with current versions of MySQL and Apache + php4 I followed the INSTALL instructions for phpBoard and they seemed fairly simple but when I point a browser to the BBS directory, I get the following: Parse error: parse error, expecting T_VARIABLE' or '$'' in /usr/local/share/doc/apache/phpboard/config_inc.php3 on line 178 (Line 178 is $user_table_name = 'users';) Fatal error: Failed opening required 'sql_inc.php3' (include_path ='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/local/share/doc/apache/phpboard/index.php on line 24 (Line 24 is require $inc_dir . "sql_inc.php3";) phpBoard includes a perl script that you can use to change your scripts extensions. So, if your extensions are .php, you can change them to .html, .php3 or even .phtml When I convert everything to .phtml and point a browser at the BBS directory, it lists the file contents of the directory. Can anybody help? Thanks Joe Joe Warner | Sr. Operations Technical Analyst | Siemens Health Services | 215 N.
