It took some time for the PHP to switch.

Some hosts don't have a delay in switching settings. But that error is a PHP 4 error so if it continues you will need to verify that your site is in fact running PHP 4. We have had customers who's web hosts had said they were running PHP 5 when in fact they weren't. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error#post-2733 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:52:05 +0000 Luke 2733@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ahhh... as previously stated, it's must be a PHP 4/5 issue. Apparently the site was an older account still running PHP 4. I've upgraded to PHP 5 with still the same error. I'm guessing it may take some time to take in affect. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error#post-2732 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:39:05 +0000 Luke 2732@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm getting the same error. Odd because I've installed on two sites today, both running the current version of WordPress (2.9.1). First one no problems, second one:</p> <p>Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/content/k/e/n/kennylee1/html/newgr/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/gravityforms.php on line 43</p> <p>Not sure why. Even tried a new PHP 5 MySql DB. These were both done on fresh installs of WP. This is the first issue I've had with several installs of GF. I'll keep testing in the meantime. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error#post-2669 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 01:40:52 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 2669@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@Extrememuz - Glad you got it worked out.

It's most likely related to one of the other plugins. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error#post-2655 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:28:18 +0000 Carl Hancock 2655@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms does nothing with the .htaccess file. </p> <p>Every host is different and has their own quirks, it's hard to tell why it didn't work. But you said it's working now, so just keep an eye on it. </p> <p>It sounds like PHP 5 didn't activate properly. The error you saw was due to trying to run it on PHP 4 so that is where the problem is. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error#post-2651 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:52:09 +0000 bruceo 2651@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Never had Gravity forms up at all and this is a clean WP install with about 10 plugins installed and all installed with no issues and they work fine so far, none of them are forms related.<br /> Initially I tried the autoinstall feature to install gravity forms and it would not work so I installed by ftp and got the error above. I then removed it and figured it might be a PHP prob.</p> <p>I am using 1and1 as a host andI remembered that getting 2.9 to 2.91 autoupgrade to work I had to addAddType x-mapp-php5 .php<br /> AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php </p> <p>to the .htaccess file in the root of the website and then it worked. So I checked the root of the wordpress directory for an .htaccess file and there was one there so i added the same code and then the gravityforms autoinstall worked. (although the autoinstall worked for all other plugs without changing the htaccess. There was a warning message that existed that said I could not use the simplevideo embedder properly unless I changed from PHP4 to 5 but after I made the htacess change that warning went away, which was a confirmation to me that PHP5 was now being used.</p> <p>But gravitforms still causes that error and currently renders the entire admin useless. I know I can ftp and remove GF but I really need to get the site up yesterday so hopefully we can get it figured out, especially since this is the only plug I have paid for. Thx</p> <p>edit<br /> I removed by ftp and removed the failed download files from failed autoinstalls then I checked the .htaccess file in the wp root folder and noticed my code was no longer there, so I added it again and then logged in and reinstalled GF automatically and all seems well. I do notice there is no more register request under the GF plug listing, which I believe was the last thing I did before the error I posted reappeared. </p> <p>When entering the activation code could GF somehow have changed/reset the .htacess file or something else that would have caused that to happen? Because I also noticed when i removed the GF plugin folder by FTP and logged in the Warning message about the Simplevid plug not working well on PHP4 upgrade to PHP5 msg returned.... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/error#post-2635 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:46:48 +0000 Carl Hancock 2635@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That is very odd. We are running Gravity Forms on WP 2.9.1 without any issues. Gravity Forms is compatible with the 2.9.1 version of WordPress.</p> <p>That T_FUNCTION error is a PHP version error. It is caused by running an incompatible version of PHP. Typically it is caused when a user tries to run Gravity Forms on PHP 4 instead of of the required PHP 5.</p> <p>Have you both had Gravity Forms up and running on these sites prior to 2.9.1 or are these new installs that had not had Gravity Forms installed on them yet? </p>
