Missing a few pieces of information related to posting (please see the posting tips that appear when posting a message), but I think I might be able to guess what has happened.

Previous install of ZC has been upgraded, but the linkpoint_api.php payment module was not removed from the fileset and likely the php version has been upgraded as well...

Even if I'm wrong, the first thing to do when presented with a blank or partial blank page is to follow the guidance of this FAQ: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?124-blank-page

this what I got for an error [04-Sep-2017 14:59:28 America/Phoenix] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/content/G/u/y/GuysWeb/html/Vicki_Bows/includes/modules/payment/payeezyjszc.php on line 158 I believe it is this code below
// Payeezy currently only accepts "American Express", "Visa", "Mastercard", "Discover", "JCB", "Diners Club"
$cc_types = [];

What else do you need?

Or I could be completely wrong in the guess I made. :)

Php version would be the other "issue". If you can, it would be suggested to increase your php version to at least 5.6, preferably 7.x, but that could affect other things on your site. You could also rename the associated file's extension to say .php~ if you don't need to use payeezy.

I am stuck with godaddy at php 5.5.

is their a fix for this?

This is where the error was on line 158, and here is the code.

$cc_types = [];

if (CC_ENABLED_VISA == 1) {
$cc_types[] = ['id' => 'Visa', 'text' => 'Visa'];
}
if (CC_ENABLED_MC == 1) {
$cc_types[] = ['id' => 'Mastercard', 'text' => 'Mastercard'];
}
if (CC_ENABLED_DISCOVER == 1) {
$cc_types[] = ['id' => 'Discover', 'text' => 'Discover'];
}
if (CC_ENABLED_AMEX == 1) {
$cc_types[] = ['id' => 'American Express', 'text' => 'American Express'];
}
if (CC_ENABLED_JCB == 1) {
$cc_types[] = ['id' => 'JCB', 'text' => 'JCB'];
}
if (CC_ENABLED_DINERS_CLUB == 1) {
$cc_types[] = ['id' => 'Diners Club', 'text' => 'Diners Club'];
}

// Prepare selection of expiry dates
for ($i = 1; $i < 13; $i++) {
$expires_month[] = ['id' => sprintf('%02d', $i), 'text' => strftime('%B - (%m)', mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1, 2000))];
}
$today = getdate();
for ($i = $today['year']; $i < $today['year'] + 15; $i++) {
$expires_year[] = ['id' => strftime('%y', mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, $i)), 'text' => strftime('%Y', mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, $i))];
}

Are you sure that ZC is seeing php 5.5? That array syntax ($var = []; replaces $var = array();) has been possible since php 5.4... please verify that when logging into the admin and selecting version in the upper right hand corner (or in dropdown menu when accessed by small resolution) that ZC is reporting php version 5.5.

Otherwise if there is a need to use the payeezy application, the associate [] brackets where necessary could be revised to the "old" method of access to temporarily make it possible to use. If not needed, then like said, rename the payment modules associated with payeezy in the includes/modules/payment directory so that they are not accessed (which requires modifying the extension from .php to something else or completely removing the file(s)).

[mc12345678]

So an example of such an edit would be:

$cc_types = array();

if (CC_ENABLED_VISA == 1) {
$cc_types[] = array('id' => 'Visa', 'text' => 'Visa');
}

With that type of substitution throughout where such an assignment is made. I believe DrByte has said that there are quite a few locations to do that, but it seems like there is an issue with the appropriate php version being applied to the store causing this. Even if the cPanel shows version 5.5, the site should not have a problem processing that command.

Other things of interest would be was the site installed using an auto-loader or a manual upload of a version of the software obtained from the zen-cart.com website?

I think this is the problem ======PHP Version: 5.3.24

Can I upgrade the php without disturbing zencart, that is on the web?

Yes, there is fix for this (and I am NOT joking): move away from GoDaddy and get yourself a decent and sophisticated host where you have a PHP selector which lets you change your PHP version to the latest (7.1.x at time of writing this).

I have had this issue with a number of clients where they hosted with GoDaddy who persistently refused to upgrade their PHP version to at least 5.6.x - so as mentioned above, this is NO joke (even though it is a joke from GoneDaddy's side).

Just FYI, PHP 5.5.x is not supported any longer.

Only my 5 cents....

From where I *sit* the answer is yes you can upgrade the php version with no ill affect on a vanilla ZC version 1.5.5e. Throw in plugins, other software you might be running on your site, etc... and the answer becomes less so known. Ideally all of those/that are up-to-date for the span of versions supported by ZC (see the server requirements on the main page of this site: https://zen-cart.com).

As to being stuck with godaddy.... I can't disagree with frank on the recommendation to move away from them as a ZC host. It may not be what you want to hear, but think about the time and energy that could be saved by working on a platform that just works which in ecommerce turns into money made.
