Hello everybody, this is the error I am receiving,

Parse error: parse error in /path_to_my_site/site/modules/WebMail/pop3.php on line 71

Here is the debug.

Code:

67 function OpenConnection() {
68 if ($this->DEBUG) echo "Openning Connection to: ".$this->hostname."
";flush();
69 if ($this->hostname=="") :
70 this->AddError("You must specified a valid hostname");
71 this->connection = fsockopen($this->hostname,$this->port, &$errno, &$errstr);
72 if ($this->DEBUG) echo "Connection opened
";flush();
73 if (!($this->connection)) :
74 if ($errno == 0)
75 $this->AddError("Invalid Mail Server Name or Server Connection Error");
76 this->AddError($errno." ".$errstr);
77 endif;
78 return true;
79 }

Can anybody direct me where to go from here!

Thanks

If this is really a bug i'm sure it must have been addressed before but anyway try changing that function like so:

Code:

function OpenConnection() {
if ($this->DEBUG) echo "Openning Connection to: ".$this->hostname." ";
flush();
if($this->hostname=="")
$this->AddError("You must specified a valid hostname");
$this->connection = fsockopen($this->hostname,$this->port, &$errno, &$errstr);
if ($this->DEBUG) echo "Connection opened ";
flush();
if (!($this->connection)) :
if ($errno == 0)
$this->AddError("Invalid Mail Server Name or Server Connection Error");
$this->AddError($errno." ".$errstr);
endif;
return true;
}

ok maybe I should of ask for you to speak to me like I am an idiot.

sorry, but you lost me.

Aren't Parse errors server orientated? Could I have something miss configured?

Thanks for your help.

Actually a parse error could occur with incorrect formatting in files, in the code i posted two lines had what could make them into an error, as an example:

if ($this->DEBUG) echo "Openning Connection to: ".$this->hostname." ";
flush();

appears on the pop3.php file as :

if ($this->DEBUG) echo "Openning Connection to: ".$this->hostname." ";flush();

The ; before flush() in that line is used to signify the end of a line, in this case it ends twice.

Ok, that lead me to the announcements forum with the directions to edit the php.ini file. Where is that file located, is it related installing php on the server?
