 * Hi,
 * Which version of PHP are you using? Post via Dropbox requires at least PHP 5.3.0.
 * I think this error message is related to Anonymous Functions. It’s a feature 
   that is available since PHP 5.3.0 (and upper).

 * Thanks for that … I was running php 5.3.0 but the wp install was on a windows
   server, so I think it was probably some sort of permissions issue. (Happens quite
   a bit on wp/windows)
 * I was looking for a way to transfer posts from a blog on a different platform
   to a new wp blog, (export/import wasn’t happening) so in the end I found another
   way to do it. Thanks

 * Post via Dropbox is an excellent tool for export/import process. I’m sorry that
   you couldn’t use it, but I’m glad to hear you resolved !
 * Bye!
