I just installed the latest lite_php_browscap.ini on my PHP7.4 server and I'm getting the following error ... PHP: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting '>' in /opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/etc/php.d/lite_php_browscap.ini on line 2364 I would have assumed that these files would be failly well tested before being released, is there something else I have to do to get the server to parse is properly?

  Hey there! Can you let me know how you installed that tool? I'm not seeing that available through any of the normal PHP extension installer methods on a standard cPanel server, so there may be custom work necessary to get this working.

  I just downloaded and copied the lite_php_browscap.ini file to /opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/etc/php.d/ Then editied the php.ini file to point to the new file i.e. browscap = /opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/etc/php.d/lite_php_browscap.ini

  The problem is that the browscap.ini files are full of lines like these ... [Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0*; *Windows NT 5.1*Trident/5.0* 360Spider*] Where the string contains a semi-colon which is interpreted as a comment, thus causing the closing ">" to not be found and therefore generating the error - " syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting '>'" I download the files from

  You'll also need to ensure the module is initialized. Can you try the details mentioned here?
