 * The reason for this error is ghat you are running PHP4, not PHP5. You need to
   talk to your hosting company about upgrading. This plugin needs PHP5, and soon
   WordPress itself my require PHP5 so it may be worth taking the time to sort this
   out.

 * Yea I realised that after doing some more googling. I’m sorry. I will change 
   the feedback on your plug-in as well. Since its the hoster and not the plug-in
   🙂
 * Thanks for the quick reaction tho 🙂
