T_STRING error on fresh install | Forum

New to OxWall and wanted to do a fresh install today. The install went fine but at the point that I added the plugins as the last step and clicked continue I got:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in /home1/mysite/public_html/testdir/ow_core/developer_tools.php on line 376

I checked that Hostgator meets all requirements, but it's possible I missed one?

Actually that might be a bug, there are several places in that section and i believe for example that it has to be wrapped with single quotes.

if ( is_subclass_of($class, 'OW_MasterPage::class' ) )

or they need to do this

$masterclass = 'OW_MasterPage::class';

if ( is_subclass_of($class, $masterclass ) )

im not a class pro so i could be wrong but i was just looking at the manual is all

http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-subclass-of.php

Also that is a new file that did not exist in 1.8.2 so it could be a bug.

I am thinking that it could be one of his plugins that is using the file unlike the rest of us that may not have that plugin. This is why i wanted to know what plugin he was activating when this happened. That way i can force the issue and see if it happens to me as well and find a solution.

Not sure what the file is for exactly, seems to be some kind of utility for the dev tools.

Ross will need to help us on this one as i dont know.

Most people think they have correct php version, which is stated in their cpanels

in order to be 100% sure please do the following:

1. go to your ow_includes/config.php file

2. after <php paste phpinfo(); and save your changes

3. go to your site and check you php version at the top of the phpinfo page.

Dave ther's no bracket on 376 line
if ( is_subclass_of($class, OW_MasterPage::class) )

this is the proper syntax
