[Plugin: Twitter Tools] Error with file twitteroauth.php when trying to connect to twitter

Hello,

I was attempting to set up my Twitter app so I could connect my blog to Twitter using Twitter Tools. I have done this for a couple of other blogs of mine and had zero issues with it. However, with my blog hosted at GoDaddy I’m running into an error when trying to connect to Twitter.

I went to dev.twitter and set everything up and plugged in all my consumer keys, tokens and secrets, then when I click connect to twitter I get the following error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /wp-content/plugins/twitter-tools/twitteroauth.php on line 19

Line 19 reads:

public $http_code;

I figured that I was dealing with a corrupted file since everytime I update anything on my wordpress blog hosted on GoDaddy some files get screwed up in the process and I have to manually download from wordpress.org and replace individually. I downloaded the twitter tools zip and compared the two files and line 19 is the same.

Could there be another issue?

Thanks.
