 * The following error is thrown when attempting to activate the plugin on my local
   machine using BitNami:
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a **fatal error**.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\MPM\BitNami WordPress Stack\
   apps\wordpress\htdocs\wp-content\plugins\js-appointment\js-appointment.php on
   line 3990

 * lurkmoar, the fatal error is do to what we call “lazy” <?….?> tags. js-appointments
   uses “lazy” tags and correct tages <?php…..?>. Under PHP 5.5 “lazy” tags are 
   not allowed. Better yet PHP.INI default is no “Lazy” tags. You can reverse this
   by editing your PHP.INI and turning off short_open_tag=on to short_open_tag=Off.
   this will solve the $end at 3990. Might add the author created a new version (
   1.5) of js-appointments which I am using after i debugged the $end problem. The
   1.5 version is WP 3.2.1 compatible. The 1.5 version has the same problem $end
   at line no. 4xxx (last line no.). Hope this helps….
