 * Hi,
 * Which version of PHP are you using? It seems like you might be using a PHP version
   prior to 5.4 (which was released in 2012).
 * – You shouldn’t use a version of PHP that more than 8 years old, not only it’s
   dangerous, but the performance wouldn’t be good.
    – Moreover, WordPress requires
   PHP 5.6 since last year.
 * Please note that the WordPress forums are all in English.
 * I hope it helps 🙂
