Error on upgrade

    After upgrading to 1.1.3 i get the following error when trying to activate: "parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PUBLIC in C:\Users\Toon\www\robdenijs.lokaal\wp-content\plugins\gravityforms\gravityforms.php on line 2270".

    Tinkering leads to the conclusion that this error started to appear from version 1.1 and on. Both 1. 0 and 1.0.1 do not have this problem.

    I'm at the custom-forms part of my project and would very much like to use Gravity forms.

  2. Hey Tony, can you verify you are running PHP5 on that site? Typically errors such as this are caused by site running PHP4 instead of PHP5. Let me know, thanks!

    Hi Carl,

    The server is running:
    • PHP 5.3.0
    • Apache/2.2.12 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.12 OpenSSL/0.9.8k mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0
    • MySQL 5.1.37

    I noticed in the forum that someone else had this error too: http://forum.gravityhelp.com/topic/instalation-error.
    And like i said before, this error appears from version 1.1 and up, it's not showing at older versions.

    P.S. Ran the compatibility checker plugin too btw, which gives: "Congratulations! Gravity Forms is supported! Get your copy of Gravity Forms here"

    One more thing, i tried suppressing the error by setting the error reporting values in php.ini to the same as on my production machine, but since this is a fatal error, there's no way around it.

    Problem solved.

  6. The issue was some PHP open tags that were not using the longform <?PHP but instead were using simply <?, some web servers cannot handle this depending on their configuration. We will take care of these in the next release.
