Parse error

[richlacey]

Hi there, just wondering if anyone could cast there eyes over this, my error is

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ',' or ';' on line 197

 

this is line 197 of the file with the error,

 

<input type="text" class="form-control" name="dob" id="dob" value="<?=(new DateTime($member['dob']))->format("d/m/Y");?>">

 

This was working not sure what has happend?

 

Thanks for your help

you need to add parentheses

 

echo (new DateTime('2014-09-13'))->format('d/m/Y');             //---> 13/09-2014

It could also have to do with your PHP vesion. Older versions require you to instance the object and later use it.

See this code here:

<?php

class Test
{
  public function test() { return 'a'; }
}

echo (new Test())->test();

If you copy it into this tool you will see that versions below PHP 5.4 give a PARSE ERROR just like yours.

You would need to use

<?php

$object = new Test();
echo $object->test();

Hope this helped.
