   on line 868.
 * Thanks in advance for your help!

 * That line uses syntax only available in PHP version >= 5.4
 * Check which version of PHP your hosting is running
 * If less than 5.4, I strongly advise you update
 * If greater than 5.4, let me know

 * Hi Philip, thanks for your quick reply. You were right. My php was wildly out
   of date. Thank you for getting back to me so soon and bringing this to my attention!
