I just uploaded a fresh install of drupal. Then uploaded the signwriter module. Enabled it and received this...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /mnt/w0905/d03/s12/b0252852/www/chad/clients/signatureweddingsbyjenna.ca/sites/all/modules/signwriter/signwriter.module on line 445

Now i'm stuck with the module enabled but can't figure out how to fix this issue. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you need to disable a module simply delete it from the modules directory.

Line 445 is $preview_profile = clone $p; which may not be available in PHP4. Are you guys using PHP4 or PHP5?

Merry Christmas!

Yes this server i'm on is hosting another site which was developed and only works in php4. Another version of that site is on the way but we're not sure when it will be finished. So switching to php5 isn't possible at the moment.

I have removed the module from the folder and from the database for now. But the text replacement is kind of what i'm going for since standard web fonts aren't doing this page justice

Will change to use drupal_clone() instead of clone, which will fix php4 compatibility issues.

FYI I got this same error with php 5.2.1-- changing both instances of "cone" to "drupal_clone()" (lines 445 & 900) solved the error. Haven't tested the module yet though. I'll post back if that change causes any problems.

THe new 6.x-1.0 version that should appear today has clone replaced with drupal_clone throughout the module.

This does not appear to be changed in the 6.x-1.1 version.

I have the same problem. I get the error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home2/admin/public_html/sites/all/modules/signwriter/signwriter.module on line 445

after changing clone to drupal_clone in two locations, I get the error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home2/admin/public_html/sites/all/modules/signwriter/signwriter.module on line 889

and cannot get rid of it. (not that I have much understanding of PHP -- Damn it Jim, I'm a chemist, not a miracle worker!)

Thanks,
Roy Jensen

Not sure how that regressed.

I am reclosing this issue though as this is not an issue in 6.x-2.x-dev (no more work will be done on the 6.x-1.x branch).
