PHP runs on browser but not command line

[shartpphp]

Hi,

I have this frustrating issue, and my hosting company couldn't help so far.

 

I have a php code that runs perfectly on web. But when I want to run it on command line, it gives following syntax error!!

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in testfile.php on line 109

Errors parsing testfile.php

 

On that line, I have class member function. The function is public. If I remove the word "public", it does not show the error on that line any more, but  then gives error on other lines.

 

I am repeating this once again. This code works perfectly on Web, but running it by php testfile.php, it gives syntax error.

 

Please help

Thanks

S.

Here is my code:

I copied you code and got no syntax errors in either a browser or command line.

Thanks Ken. Well that is the issue. I also don't get error in Browser. That means code does not have any syntax error at all. But something in command line is missing that causes the issue for me.

it should be something with php.ini or so.

 

I hope someone could guess what it is, or at least tell me some troubleshooting way.

Just a shot in the dark, but are you absolutely sure you're running PHP5 on the cli? See what this reports:

echo phpversion();

[shartpphp]

Ok, I am not sure kind of trick my hosting company is doing ,but here is what I see for each of these tests:

 

1- running phpinfo(); in a php file by browser, I get PHP Version 5.2.6

2- running phpinfo(); in a php file by command line, I get php version 4.4.8

 

3- running echo phpversion(); in a php file by browser, I get internal server error!!

 

4- running echo phpversion(); in a php file call it in command line, it prints 4.4.8

 

5- running php -v in command line, it prints following:

PHP 4.4.8 (cli) (built: Jul 11 2008 07:08:19)

    with Zend Optimizer v3.3.3, Copyright © 1998-2007, by Zend Technologies

 

So I am confused, is it php 4 or 5?

My hosting company's control panel hast an option that you click and it enables the PHP5 !!! That is strange, what you think it is?

 

 

[widox]

haha, well that's why your script won't run!

 

They must have it setup differently for web scripts. You'd need to contact your hosting company. First try enabling that PHP5 option and see what happens!

[shartpphp]

That option is  already enabled, and I start all tests after that.

 

Anyway, I was hoping find what could be the exact reason for this.

Thanks for your time.
