Sorry I am unable to help zyongteo- I am having this same problem - same syntax error, same line.

Just downloaded this theme tonight. As long as the "zen" folder remains in the "../sites/all/themes" directory, I am unable to view any options on the Admin > Site building > Themes.

I see both our posts have been entered on the same date....

You guys are using PHP 4, aren’t you?

If you are using PHP4, try removing the & from line 395 of template.php.

And let me know what version of PHP you are using and if my proposed fix helped.

Ok. I implemented a better fix than just removing the & from that line.

Please download 6.x-1.0-beta2: http://drupal.org/node/260642

Here is what I found in cPanel under phpMyAdmin for my site:

# Server version: 4.1.22-standard
# Protocol version: 10

Do you think my host should update PHP ?

I'll try the fix and post the results here- & thanks!

All is well now, thanks for the fix.

Still unsure whether it would be a good idea for the web host to upgrade PHP ?
