if (function_exists('gzcompress')) die(FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND); is giving me a

syntax error, unexpected 'if', expecting 'function' or 'const'

I am updating this code from PHP5.3 to PHP7.4 and I can't figure out what the syntax problem is since PHP allows this. I am using Eclipse PHP to do the conversion.

Please add neighbouring code too.. A few lines above this line.. – hacker315 May 21 '20 at 17:44
Aside from the parse error, shouldn't there be a ! in that line somewhere? Seems to be dying if the function _does_ exist. – droopsnoot May 21 '20 at 18:39
