 * Though my PHP version is 5.3.3, in the latest version 1.6.3 of Easy FancyBox,
   my server had occurred parse error, too.
    Thus I’ve corrected the PHP code in
   order to above. In the result, this parse error has fixed. mrtvy, thank you so
   much. I hope this problem will be solved in next version up soon.

 * Best to upgrade your PHP version. PHP 5.3 is no longer maintained (hasn’t been
   for a long time now) and even PHP 5.6 security updates will be dropped by the
   end of this year. WordPress recommends PHP 7.0 or higher.

 * Had the same. My webhost upgraded from 5.3.29 to PHP 5.6.33 and now the problem
   is solved.

 * It should be stated that if you’re on Enterprise Linux (RHEL 6, for example),
   PHP 5.3.3 **is** still receiving security updates. Any possibility of continuing
   to support older PHP?

 * Hi all, version 1.7 should be PHP downward compatible again. Please let me know
   if you run into issues still !
