    Hi, getting a parse error trying to upload a .xls in version: 2.1.7.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in /var/www/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/rsvp/Excel/reader.php on line 262

    Any idea how to solve this?

    Kind regards,
    Arjo

    Hi,

    Feel free to send me a copy of the Excel file and I will check to see what is going on. I apologize for any problems you might have had.

    Hi Mike,

    It seems the Excel reader you’re using is just quite old 😉
    I managed to fix it:

    diff --git a/wp-content/plugins/rsvp/Excel/reader.php b/wp-content/plugins/rsvp/Excel/reader.php
index d0ec644..125463c 100644
--- a/wp-content/plugins/rsvp/Excel/reader.php
+++ b/wp-content/plugins/rsvp/Excel/reader.php
@@ -257,9 +257,9 @@ class Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader
      *
      * Some basic initialisation
      */
-    function Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader()
+    function __construct()
     {
-        $this->_ole =& new OLERead();
+        $this->_ole = new OLERead();
         $this->setUTFEncoder('iconv');
     }

    But you might want to update it entirely.

    Thanks!

    Hey Arjo,

    Yes, it is quite old. On my list to upgrade it in the free version. Maybe I will do it today ;). Thanks for submitting the fix.
