 * Thanks for the feedback. I’ve fixed the issue and updated the plugin. If there
   are anymore PHP 5.3 incompatibilities please let me know!

 * Sorry I missed that one. Plugin updated to 1.1.2 . Hopefully that’s it, if not
   I’ll need to install a PHP 5.3 dev environment to test further. Thanks for helping
   me chase this down.
