mass mailer emails stuck in queue Parse error?

Trying to get someones mailer working for them.

I get this error when I execute the the cron job query manually through ssh.

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/dailaan2/www/periodic/notifies.php

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/dailaan2/public_html/periodic/notifies.php on line 63

I downloaded the fix for this and edited the code and added the sql but still nothing.

Anyone know what the problem is?

Regards,

Mario

Hey Mario,

Have you made any changes lately?

Has it worked before?

I thought that might be the problem so I rolled back the files to the install files and get this error.

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '[path_to]inc/header.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/dailaan2/public_html/periodic/notifies.php on line 21

I realized that they are still un-registered so I guess my question is.... would this still happen with a registered version.

Mario

Ooops forgot to include the inc/ path.  now that that's fixed, with fresh straight from boonex files, I'm back to the first error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/dailaan2/public_html/periodic/notifies.php on line 63

when I run the php-q

header.inc.php

Is that a malformed filename?

here is the notifies.php I have . I highlighted Line 63 where the error starts

require_once( '/home/dailaan2/public_html/inc/header.inc.php' );
require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'db.inc.php' );
require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'profiles.inc.php' );
require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'utils.inc.php' );

Any Suggestions as to what's missing?

header.inc.php error was there because I replaced the file with the install file straight from boonex download package. After I put the path together correctly it's back to the first error. unexpected T_VARIABLE usually mean that something is missing or isn't complete. I just can't see it myself.
