Maybe some kind of hosting problem? Contact your hosting company and see whether your server is having any problems or (eek!) they have upgraded PHP on the server without telling you.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld mikel4u,

did you look through the code? What line of code is giving you the error message?

[mikel4u]

i'm glad you acept me jatar_k, yes i look through the code it seems with no change, the error is in the last line, :(

Regards.

last line errors often mean unmatched braces or parentheses.

Its almost impossible for a script to give you this error on one server and not another unless you have altered the code. Are you sure you did not make any alterations?

As jatar_k mentions, this error is most probably a missing brace. Check all your opening braces to make sure they are closed properly. Some text editors have a brace matching function.

Good luck.

It could also be that the script (or a necessary resource) has been altered in some other way. Other possibilities might be file corruption or a change of permissions ...?

mikel4u ... if you have a backup of the script and any others it depends on, perhaps you could pull them back from your server and compare them with your original copies?

That is a possible solution, but for a brace to go missing its more likely to be a change of code. Thats if that is the problem.

That would have been my first thought if the original poster hadn't said ...

suddenly without a change in the script
