<![CDATA[fop2 phonebook failure]]>Hi all
My receptionists suddenly receive this error when trying to load phone book,
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /var/www/html/fop2/lib/dblib.php on line 4
I've checked my database is in place and readable by following other posts here,
php -v

Had to reinstall php and mysql library to fix after someone had run subversion on it.
cheers

Perhaps you updated to a more recent php 4 and the version check is failing, and includes the php5 libraries and fails. Look at the config.php file and be sure to include the version 4 library files, I think you have dblib4.php instead of dblib.php, etc.
