Your PHP version on this server maybe a little too old. What version of PHP is your host using on this server?
Hello,
PHP version 5.2.17 is used on the server.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
D.B.
Any chance you can request your hosting provider to up the PHP version to a more recent version? PHP 5.3+ will do the job. Your version of PHP is a bit too old.

I have PHP 5.3.26 installed on the server
you would suggest you to double check your php version. as i can see this plugin uses php’s anonymous function feature(http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php) on line 27 (where you are getting error) which is introduced in php 5.3.0. the error message you are getting is supposed to be normal in php version older than 5.3
Try the new version (v1.7). It will work on PHP 5.2 so you should be good.
