Idiots guide to PHP utilisation - as i get it wrong
Hi All
I apologise if I come across slow at times - im fairly new to Actinic - especially Developement so your patients would be appreciated
.
I have found that the functionality of PHP is restricted but was trying to work out the best way of incorporating a Object Script.
I have searched but i get an error on one of the lines when I have passed through in the way that I would have expected.
But i keep getting...
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in main on line 50
The script is below
And for the config.php file - content...
Any help muchly appreciated as i have obviously missed w=something or it is possible that this just won't work
