Hello,

Thanking you in advance.
I had a previous version and followed the directions in order to update to the newest version. I am getting the following error message when I try to view the guestbook page.

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 1203 in /home/content/j/u/l/julianp/html/www/gbook/gbook.php on line 1203

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/j/u/l/julianp/html/www/gbook/gbook.php on line 1203

I have no clue what that means and how to correct it.
Thanks,
Nancy

Hello Nancy,

It is possible a software installed by your host on the server is truncating gbook.php, you might want to check with your hosting company about that.
The gbook.php file has some encoded code inside that handles licensing. Maybe your hosting company automatically truncates gzipped code?

If you are using GoDaddy as a host than what I wrote above is most likely the reason. I read in posts made in the Hesk forum that GoDaddy started deleting or truncating files that have base64 encoded code inside. The code is used to handle licensing, but some PHP shell (hacking) script use the same technique to hide source and hence some anti-virus software falsely flags any encoded PHP code as a potential flag.

Greetings,
Henrie
I do not monitor the Gbook forums regularly anymore since I do not use the Gbook script myself anymore for a long time. But it helped me a lot in learning to understand php.
