Installation Problem [RESOLVED - PHP Version Error]

  1. I installed the plugin but when I attempted to activate it, I got this error code.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /hermes/bosweb/web250/b2503/ipw.emerge-d/public_html/cupcakesandmore/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/gravityforms.php on line 59

  2. This is covered in the 2nd question of our FAQ here:

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/frequently-asked-questions/

    It is a PHP version error. Gravity Forms requires PHP 5. You are trying to activate it on a site running PHP 4.

    You need to activate PHP 5 on your site. This is typically done via a simple hosting control panel setting but you will have to check with your web host for specifics on how to make this change.
