 * In WP 3.0.5 on activation only the following is displayed on the plugin screen:“
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION
   or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /nfs/c01/h15/mnt/5843/domains/uxbooks.com/html/wp-content/
   plugins/wordpress-amazon-associate/WPAA.php on line 48”

 * Hi, The above error is present because the plugin does not support PHP4. To use
   the plugin you will need to update to PHP5.
