This issue was originally brought up as 'Parse error on fresh install' (http://drupal.org/node/340932)

I have the same problem. Installing 6.x-1.1, I noted that 'clone' had not changed to 'drupal_clone' as suggested. I received this error on a fresh install of both Drupal and SignWriter.
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 do not understand much (any?) php to correct it.

Installing 6.x-2.x-dev, I get the following error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home2/admin/public_html/sites/all/modules/signwriter/signwriter.module on line 525

which is this line
function signwriter_image_check_cache($text, $profile, &$imagefile, $tag = 'text', &$imageinfo = NULL) {

Others are apparently having no problem with the install!? Any ideas? The site is hosted by www.canaca.com

Thanks,
Roy Jensen

When you get that error with 6.x-2.x-dev is it a clean install or an update?

I have not yet been able to reproduce that error either way.

What version of PHP are you using? Need more information.

The website was rebuilt from scratch since my original post.

I downloaded and installed signwriter-6.x-2.0-beta1.tar.gz (a clean install).

After enabling Signwriter and clicking 'Save configuration', I get
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /home2/admin/public_html/sites/all/modules/signwriter/signwriter.module on line 532

The only way I can get back to the website is to use phpMyAdmin and set the 'Status' to 0.

phpinfo reports PHP Version 4.4.4. More info at www.exploringchemistry.com/phpinfo.php

I ended up porting the entire website to another server that supports PHP5.
Signwriter works on PHP5, but fails as described above on PHP 4.4.

I know you are busy. Thanks for all your work on this project.
