I had to do a manual setup since my account does not allow me command line access. here is my index.php

INDEX.php
<?
require_once “/home/butchseaman/public_html/xataface/dataface-public-api.php”;
df_init(__FILE__, “/Faculty”);
$app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
$app->display();
?>

CONF.INI
[_database]
host = “localhost”
user = “butchseaman_name”
password = “password_used”
name = “butchseaman_Faculty”

[_tables]
Course = “Course”
Program = “Program”

getting this error on my host provider

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/butchsea/public_html/xataface/dataface-public-api.php on line 472

any ideas …?

Thanks
Butch

Hi Butch,
Insert complete URL to your xataface directory

Code: Select all

df_init(__FILE__,"url/to/xataface/directory");

Unfortunately Xataface 1.2.x requires PHP 5 now…. some work needs to be done to have it notify you when you install it… but in any case, it looks like you’re running php 4.

Xataface 1.1.5 will still work on PHP 4, but I recommend you upgrade to php 5.

Please post your index.php file contents… the problem is most certainly the 2nd parameter of your df_init() method.
