Guestbook parse error on line 14

ibs — GMT

Hi, Im getting the error message

[code]Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/ibsite/public_html/guestbook/lib/gb.class.php(132) : eval()'d code on line 14[/code]

on my page

http://www.ibsite.com/guestbook/index.php

whenever I try to access the view page of my advanced guestbook. It just appeared. One day it worked, the next day it didnt. (Perhpas related to slow refreshreate of IE). I have tried installing a new guestbook, replacing the working gb.class.php entry from the new book, but to no avail. That leads me to suspect the problem lies elsewhere in the guestbook, but I have no idea where.

I have manually entered about 80 visits from my old guestbook, and wouldnt like to have to customize a new guestbook all over again.

Ive found two entries in this forum on the problem

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2128&highlight=expecting+tstring+tvariable+tnumstring

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2085&highlight=expecting+tstring+tvariable+tnumstring

but none with adequate answers. My gb.class.php document reads:

Upon searching php forums, Ive found that actual errors to often are a couple of lines under or above the referred line, but as my knowledge of php is limited to searching in forums, they dont tell me much when I dont find an entry with exactly the same problem as I have.

Hope someone here can help me.
