 * Hi,
    When I installed the latest version this plugin, I got this message.
 *  ” Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home3/daarulmu/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/classes/DB/ActiveRecord.
   php on line 63 “
 * What problem does this message indicate ?
 * Thank you

 * Hello,
 * Can you please try to upload the plugin again to your WordPress installation 
   and advise if it works out? Simply download it from the repo and overwrite all
   the files.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
    I have deleted the plugin via CPanel. Then I downloaded the latest version
   and upload via CPanel. But when I tried to activate it, again it returns a message:
 * “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home3/daarulmu/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/classes/DB/ActiveRecord.
   php on line 63”
 * I have wordpress 4.1.1 version
 * thanks

 * I am receiving the same error.
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. followed by
   the “Parse error:….”

 * I had the same problem.
 * Last night I upgraded my PHP from 5.2 to 5.4 (using my website host) and this
   morning the plugin has installed and activated successfully.
 * Hope this helps – I don’t think I changed anything else.

 * I am glad your issue is solved. All the others can you please confirm?
 * If you are running a version of PHP that is earlier than 5.3 you should get a
   notification and not such an error though. Will look into this but glad the issue
   has been ironed out.

 * Me too. I have updated my PHP version to 5.4. Now I do not get the error message
   again.
 * Thank You.

 * Glad it worked out for you too. I am checking why the PHP version notification
   message is not showing up but instead an error is showing.
 * Thanks a lot for the feedback.
