Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST, ...... or T_VAR or '}' in

This is weird. Have you checked the module prerequisites. Specifically, which version of PHP are you using ? The module needs PHP > 5

Try this version instead: it includes recent changes and a patch to check the PHP version.

(remove the ".txt" at the end of the file name to: it's only there because doesn't want .module files to be attached)

Hi!

After istalling this module i have such error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in ..../public_html/modules/taxonews/taxonews.module on line 38

It looks like you are not using the proper PHP version specified in the requirements (PHP ≥ 5.1).

Just to be sure, can you :

• confirm which PHP version you are using
• check with the latest 5.x-1.x-dev version instead of 5.1.0

If you use today's (2007-10-16) dev version, I added an automatic check of the PHP version.

(Resetting to support because, pending further information, this appears to be another case of user error instead of a bug).

i still have the same problem

Could you please answer the questions I asked at step 6 above: http://drupal.org/node/170063#comment-597260

Without this information, I can not help you.

No answer after 3 weeks. Assuming user error.

same same on my 1und1-server.
site and plugin works on localhost nicely.

first error was Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONST, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /path/to/root/CMS/sites/all/modules/taxonews/taxonews.module on line 38

now, after using the attached file "taxonews.module.txt " above, the new error (which i think is the same error) is

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONST, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /path/to/root/CMS/sites/all/modules/taxonews/taxonews.module on line 46

my 1und1-php-version is 4
:-(

does this mean it is not working?

Indeed, as the doc specifies, this module needs PHP ≥ 5.1, not 4.x.

PHP4.x is an obsolete version. PHP4 end-of-life has been announced on the php.net home page since 2007-07-13. See http://gophp5.org/node/8 for more information.

i know, i know.
tell it to my provider.
i develioped the site on localhost on php5 and now it is not working in real live - nice.

is there something else like taxonews out there??

okidoke, on 1und1 you can use php 5 when you add this to your .htaccess:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

This is indeed interesting : you're not going to be alone with PHP4 problems now that it has been phased out and hosts don't all follow.

Maybe it would be interesting to have a handbook section somewhere about how to configure hosts to use php5, provider by provider. You could try to start one with this trick.

Or change your hosting, because I've got problem with HeartInternet as well: http://drupal.org/hosting
