I am getting a parse error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' on line 5

This is running on a server with php 4.4.8

This file (and the rest of the site) has previously worked on my local machine with php 5.2.5 and is currently working live on another server with php 4.4.7

Thanks in advance!

Here is the code:

I might be mistaken, but I think that function format is specific to PHP 5. In PHP 4, constructors are handled by mirroring the name of the class.

VirtuosiMedia is correct. In PHP4 you have to use ClassName as the constructor rather than the __construct magic method. Also, the access modifiers like public, protected, and private aren't supported in PHP4, I believe. If you want this code to run on a PHP4 server, you'll have to use var declarations rather than public or private.

Thanks for the input--it seems I was misled. The server where the site is currently hosted has php 4 and 5, but on cpanel it says 4. So now it all makes sense.

Thanks!
