 * Everything about the installation of the plugin was very easy, and I’m excited
   about getting it up and running on my site as it will save me a considerable 
   amount of time. The site I’m working on has been set up using PHP5, but I’m getting
   still getting this…
 * “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or 
   T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in …/public_html/wp-content/plugins/csv-importer/File_CSV_DataSource/
   DataSource.php on line 61”
 * I used the sample CSV file from the original CSV folder, so the problem shouldn’t
   be related formatting errors.
 * Here is a link to the site, and please let me know if you need any additional
   information from me.

 * jeremymace: You are running PHP 4. That’s a PHP4-specific error and the X-Powered-
   By header returned by your server says 4.4.9.

 * Thanks for responding!
 * I set up another test site on PHP 5, but I’m getting the same error message. 
   I’ve deactivated all other plugins. Could it possibly have anything to do with
   the theme I’m using?

 * jeremymace: You may have PHP5 installed on the server, but that’s not the version
   that renders your site. Here’s what your server says now:
 *     ```
       HTTP/1.1 200 OK
       Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:30:34 GMT
       Server: Apache/2.0.54
       X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.8
       X-Pingback: http://northaugustachamber2.org.s84614.gridserver.com/xmlrpc.php
       Vary: Accept-Encoding
       Content-Encoding: gzip

       Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
       Connection: Keep-Alive
       Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
       ```
   
 * I suggest you take it up with your hosting provider.
