Here is the exerpt causing issues:

 

if($_GET['step'] == "4"){


require_once("data.php");
require_once("install.parse.class.php");

mysql_select_db($database_conn_abrv, $conn_abrv);



$parseObj = new parsed();

$res = $parseObj->parse("install.sql");





echo "<br><b>Tables Inserted Successfully...</b><br><br><a href='install.php?step=5'>Continue...</a>";

}

 

 

 

thats the only thing that throws errors when on install.php?step=4

 

the error is:

 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/sites/monkeypaw201.com/public_html/vabase/install.php on line 89

this looks like the problem to me the way the Syntax is being highlighted.

 

$stringData = "\n" . '$conn_abrv = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn_abrv, $username_conn_abrv, $password_conn_abrv) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 

' . "\n\n" . '

); ' . "\n" .  ?>';

Try this:

// Do NOT Modify This File Unless you REALLY know what you are doing


if(isset($_GET['step'])){



if($_GET['step'] == "2"){

?>

  <table width="100%" border="0">

else

}

?>

 

I noticed a missing '

Hopefully it fixes it.

Okay, what line is the error one?

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in /home/sites/monkeypaw201.com/public_html/vabase/data.php on line 4

 

It says 4 so i assume line 4 of active code which would be if u could lines

 

mysql_select_db($database_conn_abrv, $conn_abrv);

 

or this: if you could PHP lines

 

$parseObj = new parsed();

data.php

is throwing same error

 

<?php 
$SETTINGS = Array (

$hostname_conn_abrv = "localhost";   //database hostname, usually always localhost
$database_conn_abrv = "name"; //database name
$username_conn_abrv = "user"; // database username
$password_conn_abrv = "pass"; // database 

$conn_abrv = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn_abrv, $username_conn_abrv, $password_conn_abrv) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);

<?php 
$SETTINGS = Array (

$hostname_conn_abrv = "localhost";   //database hostname, usually always localhost
$database_conn_abrv = "name"; //database name
$username_conn_abrv = "user"; // database username
$password_conn_abrv = "pass"; // database 

); 
//whats the above doing!!! thats not valid!
//move it out of the array!
$conn_abrv = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn_abrv, $username_conn_abrv, $password_conn_abrv) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 

?>
Try this instead!
<?php
$SETTINGS = Array (

"hostname_conn_abrv" => "localhost",   //database hostname, usually always localhost
"database_conn_abrv" => "name", //database name
"username_conn_abrv" => "user", // database username
"password_conn_abrv" => "pass" // database 

); 
$conn_abrv = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn_abrv, $username_conn_abrv, $password_conn_abrv) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 
?>
Or more likly

<?php
$hostname_conn_abrv = "localhost";   //database hostname, usually always localhost
$database_conn_abrv = "name"; //database name
$username_conn_abrv = "user"; // database username
$password_conn_abrv = "pass"; // database 

$conn_abrv = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn_abrv, $username_conn_abrv, $password_conn_abrv) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
