# PHP 5 error message

 * Tried to install/activate WP Double Opt-In Mailing List plugin. Got the following
   error message:
 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ‘)’ in /home/
   content/w/e/s/wesnathan/html/naturalmaleenhancementproductsnew/wp-content/plugins/
   g-lock-double-opt-in-manager/glsft-optin.php on line 3218
 * I then upgraded WP to 2.8.4. Tried it again. Same result. I have my hosting account
   with Go-Daddy. Uses Linix.
 * Went to the author’s website/blog. Couldn’t find a solution. Maybe I just missed
   it. Suggestions appreciated.
 * Wes

 * Post line 3218 and about five lines above and below it. Be sure to use the ‘code’
   tags.

 * Tried it. The code lines are not numbered, at least not in the PlugIns Editor.
 * I suppose its possible Go Daddy hasn’t upgraded to PHP 5. I doubt it but I’ll
   check.

 * Well, you have a syntax error in the PHP, and the error message tells you exactly
   where the error is, give or take a few lines maybe. You’ll need to download the
   file via ftp and open it in a text editor that can number the lines for you. 
   If you are using Windows, download Crimson. Its free and will do a fine job of
   text editing.

 * Hi,
 * It seems that plugin g-lock-double-opt-in-manager is not compatible with the 
   latest version please disable/remove it and have a check with your blog.
 * Thanks,
 * Shane G.

 * I had the same problem, the issue was with the PHP configuration of my web-hoster.
 * The default for .php files was PHP 4 instead of PHP 5.
 * Changed the setting in the hosting configuration and now it works.
    [alternative
   might be to use an older version of g-lock double opt-in manager, but I didn’t
   try that]
