I’ve been able to determine that this is a PHP version issue. Line 414 is using a relatively new feature called Anonymous Functions. This feature requires PHP version 5.3 or better.

Is there a previous version of this plugin that will run with PHP 5.2.x ? I just did a quick check and all the servers that I work on (multiple providers) are all using 5.2.x None of the servers that I currently work with have upgraded to 5.3.

I forgot to mention that I installed the current version – 1.3.1

I ran into this problem today and found your post while searching for a solution.

As best I can tell, this is a bug. All those errors you are seeing are the result of a single error on line 846 of:

wp-content/plugins/front-end-upload/front-end-upload.php

That line of code is trying to get the last modified info for the file that you are trying to download. The problem is that it’s trying to get that info for the original filename. That file doesn’t exist because the front end uploader changes the filename to a hash for security reasons.

I was able to fix this issue on the site that I’m working on by making this simple change:

On line 846 change $filename to $filepath and I think you’ll find that your files will download properly.
