unexpected T_CLASS

[tictac123456]

Hello,

I have a problem with some PHP codes, I made a website on joomla 1.6 and put in a beta folders to start then I try to move everything to the root (www) and I got an error, so I put it back in beta folders but still have this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /.../.../www/beta/libraries/loader.php on line 18

At the line 18 I got this code

abstract class JLoader
{
	private static $paths = array();

private static $classes = array();

/**
 * Loads a class from specified directories.
 *
 * @param string	The class name to look for (dot notation).
 * @param string	Search this directory for the class.
 * @param string	String used as a prefix to denote the full path of the file (dot notation).
 * @since 1.5
 */
public static function import($filePath, $base = null, $key = 'libraries.')
{
	$keyPath = $key ? $key . $filePath : $filePath;

Waiting your answer to try to solve the problem, Thanks

Welcome to PHPBuilder!

Can you show us a few lines above line #18? Also, which version of PHP are you using?

I forgot to say but I don't know the version of my php because when I check it say php OVH

[bradgrafelman]

Do a [man]phpinfo/man - that will include the version number.

It looks like there is no parse error - you're just not using a recent version of PHP.

[tictac123456]

Thanks for the quick answer but sorry to ask, in which file should I put the:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

thx

[tictac123456]

Sry to bother I found. So i got :

PHP Version 4.4.9

Now how can I fixed the little problem?

Thx for your help

[bradgrafelman]

Fix the problem by updating PHP to a more recent version; PHP4 is (thankfully) dead.

[tictac123456]
