Script URL: www.claygatescouts.org/guestbook/gbook
Version of script: 132
Version of PHP: 4
Hosting company: FREEOLA.net
Have you searched THIS FORUM for your problem: Yes
(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try: unexpected T_VARIABLE
Write your message below:

The full error I get in trying to load gbook is as follows:
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /freeola/users/5/8/sr0182885/htdocs/guestbook/settings.php on line 18"

Line 18 is as follows:
17 = /* Website URL */
18 = $settings['website_url']="http://www.claygatescouts.org/";

This is Line 18 only because I have retained the original script lines, making them unreadable by using, for example "/* ORIGINAL $settings['apass']="admin"; */"

Perhaps you can help on this one please?

Hi,

This is an error in your settings.php file. Paste your full settings.php here (replace password with *****) and I will have a look.

Regards

Herewith the full script of settings.php (Password Changed as requested)...
I hope you can indentify the error for me!

Hi,

Change

$settings['website_title']="1st Claygate Scouts"

to

$settings['website_title']="1st Claygate Scouts";

(note that a semi-colon comes at the end). It should work then.

Regards,

Klemen,

Many thanks for your help. Having been through the script several times before posting the query, I then have just found it myself!

Sorry for troubling you and thanks once again!
