php parse error on plugin on one server but not another

This may be more of an installation question – not sure but there was a idre waqrning about posting plugin questions on the installation forum, so here I am.

I have been happily running the ‘Simple Image Widget’ on one server (Windows 64-bit). When the site went live I moved it to a different server (Windows 32-bit) and exactly the same plugin refuses to activate – returning the following:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

PHP Parse error: parse error in C:\Websites\site.co.uk\wp-content\plugins\simple-image-widget\simpleimage.php on line 168

I’ve reinstalled php so both are running the same version of php (5.2.9-2) but no change.

I’ve deleted and reinstalled the widget but no luck. I tried (with very limited knowledge of php) to edit the plugin by removing the offending symbol – } – but fairly sure it was correct to start with so no joy.

Has anyone encountered this or got any suggestions. The code is identical and previously worked.

Many thanks.
