Need some coding help

[Wafflechunk]

I'm using PHP Version 4.4.1 and unfortunately do not have the option to upgrading to PHP 5. I'm also not very familiar with PHP yet.

Here's the error message I'm getting:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /PageRestrictionHooks.php on line 328

Here's the piece of code where the error is (line 328 is in red):

function DescribeRestrictionsHook( &$parser, &$text ) {
        global $wgTitle;
        $page = $wgTitle->getPrefixedText();

    $dbr =& wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
    $res = $dbr->query( "
            SELECT page_prefix
            FROM page_prefixes
            WHERE LOCATE(page_prefix, '$page')=1
            ORDER BY LENGTH(page_prefix) DESC LIMIT 1
    " );

    if( $dbr->numRows( $res ) > 0 ) {
            [COLOR="Red"]$prefix = ( $dbr->fetchObject( $res )->page_prefix[/COLOR]
            if( strlen( trim( $prefix ) ) )
                    $text = " <pre><font color=\"red\">Access to this page is regulated with a prefix <b><a href=\"index.php?title=Special:PrefixAdministration&action=edit_prefixed_page&page_prefix=$prefix\">$prefix</a></b>.</font></pre>" . $text;
    }
}

I've also attached the whole file in case that is needed.

                $prefix = ( $dbr->fetchObject( $res )->page_prefix

Apart from the bad syntax (missing ; and missing )). PHP 4 did not support the $object->method()->method() syntax.

You'll need to put $dbr->fetchObject($res) into another variable $object and then use $object->page_prefix.

I also would not be providing so much information as you did rather post it such as this.
