Hello, can anyone help with this error in advanced guestbook 2.2

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ']', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/xxxxx/public_html/guestbook/lib/gb.class.php(101) : eval()'d code on line 43

the xxxxx is to replace the name. I have had this guestbook running for about a year with no problems till now, I havent changed or modified anything to result in this problem. Any help apreciated, thanks.

Most likely your web hosts updated the PHP version.

Have a searh round here and/or check which version you have and update it if necessary.

Thanks for your quick reply Auron, yes recently my host has updateted php to version 4.3.9 but I don't understand what I need to do, do I need to put a new guest book on & replace the error one or do something else. This is a great place & thanks for letting guests use it.

First you need to do a search and figure out why useing guestbook version 2.2 is very bad. Then you need to update to version 2.3.1. Or replace the file then do all the above. Here is a fresh copy of the gb.class file.

Thanks for your reply too JTD, to be honest I have spent hours upon hours trying to find answers to this & a lot here on this site. I don't think I quite know why 2.2 is bad but I will endevour to fix it. I know where the gb.class file code you gave me goes, but if I replace the one I have on the server with your code will I loose any of the entries I already have in the guest book? Sorry to sound so thick but computer programing is not my strong point, Building houses in New Zealand is. Thanks again.

You wont loose entries. Those are stored in your database. And read this. It is about the exploit in version 2.2 http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3650 also this might be helpfull. http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3563&highlight
