SOLUTION:Fresh install & Receiving " T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM"

[Joshua Walker]

Hi guys,

Before you read this post, this is my first post and I am 16 years of age so please don't jump the gun if this is something that you guys are already aware of.

Although, I downloaded OrangeHRM today and installed it on to my web server (fresh install) and the installation went successful. However, after installing the script I couldn't physically use the script as the script was returning me to an error page which stated "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, expecting ']'"

I researched in to this and people said it was because I needed to upgrade my PHP version although, after tampering with the code I found a solution without the need to upgrade.

The actual error was being outputted from line 65 within the "orangehrmPostExecutionFilter.php".
Can be found in: "/symfony/plugins/orangehrmCorePlugin/lib/filter"

The way I resolved the parse error was by locating line 65 within the file above and you should notice this syntax of code:

Code: Select all

}

                if (isset($messages[$serviceInstance::getState()])) {
                    MessageRegistry::instance()addMessage($messages[$serviceInstance::getState()], $module, $action);
                }

The way I fixed this issue was by making the following modification below:

Code: Select all

}

                if (isset($messages[$serviceInstance->getState()])) {
                    MessageRegistry::instance();addMessage($messages[$serviceInstance->getState()], $module, $action);
                }

I replaced $serviceInstance::getState() with $serviceInstance->getState() and also on the line underneath I added a semi-colon after the function called Instance()

Finally, on the same line once again I replaced [$serviceInstance::getState()] to [$serviceInstance->getState()]

and boom I re-uploaded the file and the script now works!

I hope this comes in useful for people how have this error when attempting to log-in to the script for the first time after the installation process.

Many thanks,

Joshua Walker.

Hi Joshua,

Thanks for the fix. It's implemented in OrangeHRM trunk at revision 8681 and will be available in OrangeHRM 2.6.12.

I don't think the semicolon is necessary. I applied Joshua's fix without adding the semicolon after Instance()

Code: Select all

MessageRegistry::instance()->addMessage ...etc

and the login screen still appeared.

Great job getting to the bottom of this one Joshua,you saved me untold woe - thanks!
