Error: expecting `T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_ST

[Anon]

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING' in /usr/local/www/htdocs/work/lib/common/common.inc.php on line 22

why would I get that error from require_once line:

function loadLibFile( $file ) {
global $DOCUMENT_ROOT;
require_once( $DOCUMENT_ROOT . '/lib/' . $file . '.php' );
}

It doesn't have to be there, it can be a a missing ';' orquote way before line 22, it can even be inside the 'required' file.

Hmm..well the exact same code worked on my work server, 4.0.6 ... home server is 4.0.1p2

:/ ........ I comment out those lines and its fine..

I've searched all over the place and it seems to be a problem with the require_once function.

seems like my version of php, doesn't like me to concat strings inside the require_once or by concating them to a variable and using that variable in the require_once.. it only likes a string IN the require itself... :/
