I have a working component and decided to make an installer to distribute the component... so I used other components as guides to do this. The _VALID_MOS check is spewing errors on the install.component.php. Everything above line 20 (sans

Code: Select all


19:// no direct access
20:defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
21:
22:function com_install() {

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /mypath/install.mycomponent.php on line 20

well, if you are developing for 1.0 (as it appears since you are using _VALID_MOS), you should have instead:
defined( _VALID_MOS ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

(notice the lack of quotes - PHP is expecting here a constant not a string)

In 1.5, it should be _JEXEC instead of _VALID_MOS.
