Parse Error

[Anon]

I'm trying to get a php searching script to run. Now it works fine when I test it on my local machine running PHP4 but when I try to run it on a machine running PHP3 I get:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `STRING' in /www/lookoutireland/test.php3 on line 88.

Does anyone recognise this error and is it a problem to do with the PHP versions? Can it be fixed or am I wasting my time?

Thanks in advance,

Doug

Whats on line 88?

Line 88 is the begining of this function:

function &document_sub($doc_ids) {
$docs = array();

	# let's select the documents in a single query
	$res = mysql_query("select id, title, content from document ".
	                      "where id in (".join(',', $doc_ids).")");
	while($row = mysql_fetch_row($res)) {
		$docs[ $row[0] ] = $row[1]." ".$row[2];
	}
	return $docs;
}

Hope you can help,
Thanks,
Doug

The & is not required in the function declaration. PHP3 might be complaining about not finding an alphanumeric character where there it thinks there should be one.
