 * Hey, sorry for my late response.
 * I just downloaded the plugin and it works fine, the thing is that i’m on Windows
   and maybe that’s causing a problem [its the end of the file], try changing it
   to with/without BOM.

 * This is due to a sneaky short open tag – change line 206 to <?php instead of 
   <?
