  Re: Parse error

  Hi,
  
  I can't reproduce it. Can you give me more information please. Which page were you on when you experience this error?

  Re: Parse error

  I created a course as a teacher, the course is successfully created, display it in the courses of the teacher, when I click on the course I get the error page (parse error ...)
  
  Since ATutor was installed for a test I can give you the url and login information.
  url: http://www.web-libero.it/test-atutor/
  
  Administrator:
  login name = admin
  password = admin
  
  Teacher:
  login name = andrea
  Password = andrea
  
  If you login as a teacher find a course called "aaa", if you try to access the course you have the error page.

  Re: Parse error

  Thanks for the access. I am not sure why you are getting this error. I will investigate.
  
  Edited:
  Can you do me a favor and try adding a "?>" at the end of the file?
  
  Do this for BasicBlobCrypter.php, BasicSecurityToken.php, BlobCrypter.php, Crypto.php.

  Re: Parse error

  Thank you for the help you're giving me.
  
  I added "?>" At the end of the file you've indicated, but did not produce any effect.
  
  ATutor in my pc works fine.
  Windows Vista - Apache Web Server Version 2.2.8 - PHP Script Language Version 5.2.6 - MySQL Database Version 5.0.51b
  
  I tried to disable the function that gave error.
  There have been other error messages that have involved other functions.
  
  These:
  
  file BlobCrypter.php
  row 40: abstract public function wrap(Array $in)
  
  file BasicBlobCrypter.php
  row 60: public function wrap(Array $in)
  row 72: private function serializeAndTimestamp(Array $in)
  row 122: private function checkTimestamp(Array $out, $maxAge)
  
  
  After disabling all functions are managed to enter the course.
  
  Of course, I do not find the right solution.But I hope you can say something.
  Now I have given everything to the initial situation.
  with the addition of "?>" for BasicBlobCrypter.php, BasicSecurityToken.php, BlobCrypter.php, Crypto.php.

  Re: Parse error

  Thanks, can you try taking the "Array" out from the () and see if you still get the errors?
  
  I am wondering if it's a PHP version bug/problem.

  Re: Parse error

  Unfortunately, even with the changes you suggested those lines of code cause the error anyway.
  I ran the "php debugger": the pages are correct.
  So, I thought it was a problem with version of PHP. Like you said.
  I updated the version of PHP to 5.2.5.
  ATutor now works fine.
  Thank Harris for his kindness and for the help they gave me. :)
