 * Hi, sorry to hear you’re having problems.
 * Your server is using a very old version of PHP (5.2) that we no longer support,
   nor does WordPress 🙁 I suggest contacting your hosting company and asking them
   to upgrade that for you.

 * You’re welcome!
 * If they tell you they can’t / won’t upgrade – email [support@webfactoryltd.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_string-expecting-or/support@webfactoryltd.com?output_format=md)

 * No problem with my hosting company. I can change my PHP version up to 7.3. 😉
   It’s just that it was an old install (with WordPress auto-updates on), and the
   PHP version didn’t follow WordPress updates. All is working good now. Thanks 
   again.
