 * Hi everybody,
    I created a form and when clicking ion the submit button i get
   the following error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /home/.sites/137/site6125965/web/
   web2016/wp-content/plugins/caldera-forms/classes/core.php(1140) : runtime-created
   function on line 1 Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /home/.sites/
   137/site6125965/web/web2016/wp-content/plugins/caldera-forms/classes/core.php
   on line 1141
 * To be honest, I have no idea. Thanks in advance.
 * Greetings Jo

 * For the record, this happens when you create a calculation field with an invalid
   magic tag. Normally what happens is the magic tag with a { isn’t parsed, so it’s
   still in the formula and then an error happens.
