 * Hi, this plugin looks great but when I activated it, I got this error message:
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

   Messages requires PHP version 5.3.0 or higher.
 * Is there a way to make it work for earlier PHP version? Thanks!

 * Hi, me again. I checked and I’m using PHP 5.3, and your plugin won’t activate.
 * Any reason why it doesn’t? Thanks!

 * The version check I did was a bit tight. Could you try the version I just updated(
   version 0.1.6)? Thanks!

 * Hi Pär, I just tried to install version 0.1.6 and it triggered the same Fatal

 * Ok, that’s wierd. I just tried that version on 5.3 myself and it worked..
 * You could try to edit
    ep-admin-messages.php and remove the line below the comment
   that says // Make sure PHP version is ok with namespaces and anonymous functions
 * and see if that works.
