Parse error after succesful install

[Klaas]

I finally reprogrammed/-scripted my other applications to take care of the failing table prefix problems.

So I did the install.php again. Tables ok, but now I encounter the following:

Code Select Expand

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING' or `'('' in /opt/guide/www.parabool.com/HTML/yabbse/index.php on line 247

Any ideas?
btw: no admin has been registered because of the  conversion

ok - some versions of PHP don't like the inline syntax used.

her'es what to do;

index.php

Code Select Expand

if ($currentboard == "") { require_once "$sourcedir/BoardIndex.php"; BoardIndex(); }
change to

Code Select Expand

if ($currentboard == "") { require_once ("$sourcedir/BoardIndex.php"); BoardIndex(); }

Eehm... do I have to change all inline syntaxes used in index.php and other files...?  

Single adjustment of procedure didn't do anything... same error

[Klaas]

Ok, changed the require_once into include_once... it works! yay!

so now I have more errors, different ones... sigh

'cause it still fits nicely into this topic, I'll continue.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: set_error_handler() in /opt/guide/www.parabool.com/HTML/yabbse/index.php on line 70

Am I starting to annoy anyone yet?

no, you're not annoying anyone  If doing this annoyed us, we wouldn't have made SE
