Paamayim nekudotayims in PHP 5.2

Question

I can upgrade php 5.2 in my server. I have to make this server work today (the vacation I have planned tomorrow is under question because of this error) with new testlink. I am stuck with following error i.e Paamayim nekudotayims.

What changes I should do to resolve it?

This link contains the file with the bug.

You can find the file or complete codes , here in this link http://www.aypwip.org/webnote/Testlink%252520Error Error line number is 37 — Subit Das, Aug 08 '13 at 19:08
that link only gives one file and there's no error (according to php) in that file alone. The problem could be in one of the required files. — imel96, Aug 08 '13 at 22:33
Line number 37 , $info['cfg'] = '
'; :: is the error , which I want to replace with -> — Subit Das, Aug 19 '13 at 14:00

The Scope Resolution Operator (also called Paamayim Nekudotayim) or in simpler terms, the double colon, is a token that allows access to static, constant, and overridden properties or methods of a class.

SO may be in your codes you try to call static method or properties with wrong operator.

From Wikipedia:

In PHP, the scope resolution operator is also called Paamayim Nekudotayim (Hebrew: פעמיים נקודתיים‎), which means “double colon” in Hebrew.

The name "Paamayim Nekudotayim" was introduced in the Israeli-developed Zend Engine 0.5 used in PHP 3. Although it has been confusing to many developers who do not speak Hebrew, it is still being used in PHP 5, as in this sample error message:

$ php -r :: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM

As of PHP 5.4, error messages concerning the scope resolution operator still include this name, but have clarified its meaning somewhat:

$ php -r :: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '::' (T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM)
