# Invalid PHP – 500 Server Error

 * Upon upgrading to a newer version of PHP, where there are stricter standards 
   for invalid PHP, I found this incorrect code in your plugin that caused a 500
   server error:
 * File: social-plugins/widgets/like-box.php
    Line: 84 Screenshot: [http://dp.wecreate.com/ZjLn](http://dp.wecreate.com/ZjLn)
   PHP Fatal Error: ‘break not in the ‘loop’ or ‘switch’ context
 * Can you please fix this by just getting rid of the break; statement? It doesn’t
   do anything anyways if it’s not in a loop or switch. This is kind of urgent as
   my sites will all break if you ever update this plugin again.
 * Hugely appreciated. Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * I accidentally installed this plugin without checking the version compatibility
   with my WordPress installation.
 * My website is now also producing a 500 server error. How did you resolve this
   problem? Can I just remove the break statement?
 * Kind regards

 * Yes, I have also just discovered this stupid bug.
    Comment it safely. Pretty 
   stupid syntax error, seems developer has beginner level in php language.
