When using PHP Version 4.4.7, after installing and enabling this module I started getting the following error on every page of my site:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE"

After searching I found some suggestions that PHP5 may solve the issue. Once I upgraded to PHP5 the error went away.

Did it say what line of which file the error occurred? (I don't have easy access to PHP 4.4)

I'm really sorry... I forgot to note the whole error... and since the upgrade fixed the problem I can't reproduce it anymore either!

Again, very sorry.

this error came up on php 4.4.7 install

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /domains/39862/web/info/sites/all/modules/filefield_paths/filefield_paths.module on line 101

there is another site with this error came up by Google search URL is: http://www.node.sk/ (Note that the maintainer of this site might have already solved this problem at the time you read this post!)

hi all,

this problem is due to requirements of FileField_Path (http://drupal.org/project/filefield_paths) and FileField (http://drupal.org/project/filefield) modules. FileField requires PHP 5 to run and FileField_Path is supporting module for FileField so the error occurs.
