PHP try-catch not recognized on command-line? (Trying to install Composer) -


i trying install composer (http://getcomposer.org/download/) on godaddy-hosted linux server it's not working. no matter method try, run against version of following error:

parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' on line 290.

line 290 refers line 290 in file: https://getcomposer.org/installer start of try-catch block. and, indeed, simple script like:

echo '<?php echo "hello world "; try {echo "goodbye";} catch (exception $e) {} ?>' | php

produces same type of syntax error (forgive awkward piping. godaddy doesn't seem -r option).

similarly, if put code in file "argh.php" , run php -f argh.php syntax error, work fine if visit page in browser.

does know why php keeps choking on try-catch block or other way can install composer? (p.s., using php 5.3)

echo '<?php echo "hello world "; try {echo "goodbye";} catch (exception $e) {} ?>' | /web/cgi-bin/php5

works fine. dumb. try installing composer using /web/cgi-bin/php5 , see happens.

linux - xterm copying to CLIPBOARD using copy-selection causes automatic updating of CLIPBOARD upon mouse selection -

i've tried various ways coerce xterm (versions 285 , 292) copy selection clipboard clipboard whenever press ctrl-shift-c. promising way far has been, in ~/.xresources, put this: xterm*vt100.translations: #override \ ctrl shift <keypress> c: copy-selection(clipboard) \n\ ctrl shift <keypress> v: insert-selection(clipboard) ctrl-shift-v works perfectly, copying has nuance... if restart xterm, highlighting text puts things in primary clipboard; expected, proper, default behavior. if hit ctrl-shift-c, copies current selection clipboard clipboard. the bug, however, if highlight text after first time pressed ctrl-shift-c, you'll see highlighting copies both primary and clipboard. cannot figure out how stop xterm updating clipboard upon selection... , doesn't make sense me in first place. i said, @ specific point in time, copy selection clipboard... yet starts updating automatically upon selection after doing once... anyone have workaround...

c++ - qgraphicsview horizontal scrolling always has a vertical delta -

Image
i've subclassed qgraphicsview custom canvas used in cad application. i've reimplemented qgraphicsview::wheelevent check keyboard modifiers control key and, if control key pressed, zoom. i'm trying implement horizontal scroll when user holds shift , uses wheel. the problem i'm having horizontal scrolling always scrolls 0.279. not huge problem, hugely annoying , points else being wrong. so, here questions: is right way implement horizontal scrolling? if not, is? how eliminate delta of 0.279? thanks in advance. code , sample output below void myview::zoom(int delta) { double factor = pow(1.2, delta/abs(delta)); this->scale(factor, factor); } void myview::scrollhorizontal(int level) { qpointf center = maptoscene(viewport()->rect().center()); qdebug() << "center: " << center.x() << ", " << center.y(); centeron(qpointf(center.x() - level, center.y())); } void myview::wheelevent(qwheeleve...
