I'm trying to include a Macro in a fresh Laravel3 framework installation, I've got PHP 5.4 (phpinfo confirms this). I originally suspected it was an issue with closures not being support on 5.3.17, so I upgrade to 5.4 and I'm still getting this error.
Unhandled Exception
Message:
syntax error, unexpected 'function' (T_FUNCTION) Location:
C:\wamp\www\script-manager\application\libraries\macros av_link.php on line 3
Nav link file has the following macro:
<?php
HTML::macro('nav_link' function($route, $text) {
$class = ( URI::is($route) or URI::is($route.'/*') ) ? 'class="active"' : '';
$href = URL::to($route);
$action = Request::route();
$action = $action->action;
if ( isset($action['as']) ) {
$class = ( ($action['as'] == $route) or ($action['as'] == $route.'/*') ) ? 'class="active"' : '';
$href = URL::to_route($route);
}
return '<li ' . $class . '><a href="' . $href . '">' . $text . '</a></li>';
});
?>
And is being required at the bottom of start.php:
require path('app') . 'libraries\macros
av_link.php';
I've literally found no one else with this problem under my circumstances, so I'm lost. Using WAMP 5.4 on Windows 7.
Thanks.
