Need help with [MemberCheck] Snippet

    Hi all,

    I use the original MemberCheck Snippet from 0.9.1 and I get this parse error:

    ----8<-----snip------

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ’}’ in /Users/Uwe/projekte/www.ibaw.org/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(691) : eval()’d code on line 65

    ---------snap--8<----

    Snippetcall: [[MemberCheck? &groups=`Mitglieder` &chunk=`MemberNavTitel`]]

    The chunk exists, Webusergroup exists, Webuserlogin works like a charm... But this snippet missed somewhat on line 65 - but what?

    My environment: FF 1.5, MacOS X (Tiger), XAMPP Mac 0.5 (www.apachefriends.org)

    Can someone help ? Sorry for the german english.

      What does the MemberNavTitel chunk look like?

        My MemberNavTitel chunk: 

        <h3>Member Menu</h3>


        Nothing else...

          And the page renders fine without the snippet on there, right? If so, what’s on lines 65 (and a couple leading up to it I suppose, too)?

            Ryan, YOU wrote this snippet smiley)) Ok, lines 60 - 75:

            60 # turn comma-delimited list of groups into an array
61 $groups = explode(',', $groups);
62 
63 if (!class_exists('MemberCheck')) {
64 	class MemberCheck {
65		static $instance = NULL;
66 		var $allGroups = NULL;
67 		var $debug;
68 
69 		function getInstance($debug=false) {
70 			global $modx;
71 			if (self::$instance == NULL) {
72 				self::$instance= new MemberCheck($debug);
73 			}
74 			return self::$instance;
75 		}


            Seems to be ok, but I’m not a PHP Guru... huh

              Could it be an issue with the version of PHP you are using?

                Actually, I wrote the function version of it, Jason made it classified. wink

                I suspect it’s definitely a PHP version issue... hmmm.

                  I have a feeling that it will only run under PHP5.

                  Only I just came across this: http://www.zend.com/php5/andi-book-excerpt.php. Look at item 10 under ’New Object-Oriented Features’.

                  I might be completely wrong, perhaps Jason could clarify. wink

                  Cheers, Garry

                    Ooops. Try it after changing the keyword static to just var and let me know if that works in PHP4. It should still work once static is changed to var, as that is indeed a PHP 5 only language feature, but that’s the only one I see off hand.

                      Line 65 is ok, the script causes a parse error on line 71 now:
                      ----8<-----snip------

                      My PHP is 4.4.1 (local) and 4.4.2 (online). I think, we are on the right way, thank you guys!
