Okay so I have this forum, and I am trying to install something on it, but when I tried to install it I got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/apate0/public_html/forums/antispam/asacp.php on line 38

Here is line 38 of asacp.php:

public static $profile_fields => array(

It looks right to me, but I don't know. Quick replies are greatly appreciated.

That error message often results from a missing semi colon.

Can you post more of the code surrounding that line?

The syntax looks wrong to me.
=> to me, implies that $profile_fields is a key in an array.

I think it should be
public static $profile_fields = array (
but without seeing more of the code I can't say for sure.

^Thank you for you quick reply! Here is the code:

public static $profile_fields => array('
'icq' => array('lang' => 'UCP_ICQ', 'db' => 'user_icq', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'aim' => array('lang' => 'UCP_AIM', 'db' => 'user_aim', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'msn' => array('lang' => 'UCP_MSNM', 'db' => 'user_msnm', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'yim' => array('lang' => 'UCP_YIM', 'db' => 'user_yim', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'jabber' => array('lang' => 'UCP_JABBER', 'db' => 'user_jabber', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'website' => array('lang' => 'WEBSITE', 'db' => 'user_website', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'location' => array('lang' => 'LOCATION', 'db' => 'user_from', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'occupation' => array('lang' => 'OCCUPATION', 'db' => 'user_occ', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'interests' => array('lang' => 'INTERESTS', 'db' => 'user_interests', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'signature' => array('lang' => 'SIGNATURE', 'db' => 'user_sig', 'field_type' => 'disabled'),
');

Try:

PHP Code:

public static $profile_fields = array(
'icq' => array('lang' => 'UCP_ICQ', 'db' => 'user_icq', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'aim' => array('lang' => 'UCP_AIM', 'db' => 'user_aim', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'msn' => array('lang' => 'UCP_MSNM', 'db' => 'user_msnm', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'yim' => array('lang' => 'UCP_YIM', 'db' => 'user_yim', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'jabber' => array('lang' => 'UCP_JABBER', 'db' => 'user_jabber', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'website' => array('lang' => 'WEBSITE', 'db' => 'user_website', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'location' => array('lang' => 'LOCATION', 'db' => 'user_from', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'occupation' => array('lang' => 'OCCUPATION', 'db' => 'user_occ', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'interests' => array('lang' => 'INTERESTS', 'db' => 'user_interests', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING),
'signature' => array('lang' => 'SIGNATURE', 'db' => 'user_sig', 'field_type' => 'disabled'),
); 


^Thanks, but it didn't work. still gives the same error. Do you know anything else that might work?

I just noticed an extra comma at the end of the line, here is the fixed version:

PHP Code:

public static $profile_fields = array( 
'icq' => array('lang' => 'UCP_ICQ', 'db' => 'user_icq', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'aim' => array('lang' => 'UCP_AIM', 'db' => 'user_aim', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'msn' => array('lang' => 'UCP_MSNM', 'db' => 'user_msnm', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'yim' => array('lang' => 'UCP_YIM', 'db' => 'user_yim', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'jabber' => array('lang' => 'UCP_JABBER', 'db' => 'user_jabber', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'website' => array('lang' => 'WEBSITE', 'db' => 'user_website', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'location' => array('lang' => 'LOCATION', 'db' => 'user_from', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'occupation' => array('lang' => 'OCCUPATION', 'db' => 'user_occ', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'interests' => array('lang' => 'INTERESTS', 'db' => 'user_interests', 'field_type' => FIELD_STRING), 
'signature' => array('lang' => 'SIGNATURE', 'db' => 'user_sig', 'field_type' => 'disabled')
); 


If that doesn't fix it, could you post the following:

What version of PHP are you using?
What is the line right before the one in question?
Is the constant FIELD_STRING set?

It didn't work, so I just uninstalled it. Thanks though.
