 * I’m having a problem adding this wonderful little plug-in to one of my WP blogs.
   When trying to activate I get this Fatal Error notice…
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION
   or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/content/c/d/i/cdindex/html/potterycollector/wp-content/
   plugins/auto-prune-posts/auto-prune-posts.php on line 113
 * I’ve not had any problem installing on my other WP blogs, which also are 3.0.1.
 * Any ideas?

 * Thanks for reporting ( and tweeting 🙂 ), do you, by any chance run PHP4 on your
   webserver/webhost instead of PHP5 ?

 * Yes, this site was running on PHP4. I’ve gone ahead and started the upgrade to
   PHP5 which could take up to 24 hours to complete.
