Everything is working fine on localhost/myweb but when i upload the folder myweb to my public_html directory i get error:

[16-Sep-2012 18:32:55] PHP Warning:  Unexpected character in input:  '\' (ASCII=92)  
state=1 in /home1/programw/public_html/myweb/index.php on line 7

[16-Sep-2012 18:32:55] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home1
/programw/public_html/myweb/index.php on line 7

on my index.php line 7 has this code:

   $app = new Core\Bootstrap();

i know something has to do with \ slash but i cant figure out what or how to fix it.

can anyone help me please? I also use .htaccess and inside .htaccess i have the following:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
   RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

SOLUTION

i just found out that \ slash and namespacing is only supported in PHP 5.3 and my hosting for some reason didnt update their PHP to 5.3. If anyone knows a way around it to work on 5.2 i will really appreciate it.

    The code will only work in PHP 5.3 and above. Your server is probably still running PHP 5.2

    You can check this most simply through phpinfo(); or phpversion();

    To fix, you’ll need to remove the namesapces (which may be a big job with an external framework) or upgrade the server to PHP 5.3 or above (note that 5.2 is pretty old!)
