Error parseerror syntax error unexpected new t_new cakephp

A CakePHP error!

The error message "ParseError: Syntax error, unexpected 'new' (new t_NEW)" suggests that there's a syntax error in your code, specifically with the new keyword.

Here are a few common causes of this error:

  1. Missing or incorrect namespace: Make sure you're using the correct namespace for your class. Check that you've imported the correct namespace at the top of your file.
  2. Incorrect class name: Verify that your class name is correct and matches the file name. CakePHP is case-sensitive, so ensure that the class name and file name match exactly.
  3. Missing or incorrect constructor: If you're using a constructor, ensure that it's defined correctly. A constructor should have the same name as the class and should not have a return type.
  4. Incorrect use of new: Make sure you're using the new keyword correctly. For example, if you're trying to create an instance of a class, use new ClassName() instead of new ClassName.

To troubleshoot this error, try the following:

  1. Check your code for any typos or syntax errors.
  2. Verify that your class is defined correctly and matches the file name.
  3. Check the CakePHP documentation for any specific requirements or restrictions on class names and constructors.
  4. If you're still stuck, try creating a minimal reproducible example to isolate the issue.
