 * Hello Mike, I spoke to my hosting provider and they said they are using php 5.5
   is that recent enough to work with contact form db?
 * I ask bc whenever I click options it gives me this code:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /hsphere/local/home/bbbmtvc/
   timeforyourcomeback.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-
   extension/CFDBViewOptions.php on line 81

 * PHP 5.5 is fine. Even upgrading to 5.3 will fix this error.
 * Go to the CFDB **Options** page, **System** tab. What PHP version does it say
   your site is running?

 * Hey Michael! in my wordpress back office on the left side of the page it has 
   a bunch of different tabs going down the side. underneath the Cfdb tab are the
   tabs for “shortcode” and “options” is that the options you’re talking about going
   to? because if so when I click it it gives me that message or code that I pasted
   above.
 * is there a different options tab you’re referring to ?

 * Sorry, I’m being stupid. If you aren’t running PHP 5.3 or better, you can’t see
   the PHP version on that page!
 * I am 99.99999% sure that the reason you are seeing that T_FUNCTION error is that
   you are running less than PHP 5.3 on you site.
 * Create a file at the top of your website called “**phpinfo.php**“. Put this in
   it:
 *     ```
       <?php
       phpinfo();
       ```
   
 * Navigate to that file in your browser. Search the page for **PHP Version**.

 * Hey Mike that was indeed the issue! For some reason the first time I asked my
   webhost provider what version of php I had on my website they said 5.5, when 
   I called back after reading your last message they confessed it was version 5.2
   and they upgraded me to 5.5 and now options is working fine!! thank you!!
