 * Hi,
 * I installed this plugin on my web-site but when I tried to activate it, it said
   me that there is this error:
    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /
   home/uk865li9/domains/socialtour.eu/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/cf7-conditional-
   fields/Wpcf7cfMailParser.php on line 46”
 * Could you help me please?
    Thank you Andrea

 * Sorry, my bad. I need to update my minimum version. I haven’t tested the last
   couple of updates with PHP 5.3. Could you upgrade your PHP version to at least
   5.6? That should do the trick

 * I just tested and PHP 5.4 should also work.

 * Have a nice day!
