 * I’ve had to get to the point of a new install of your plugin, and when I try 
   to activate it I receive the following error message –
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home4/lakehill/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/slideshow-ck/includes/class.input.php on line 560
 * I got to this point after having had to delete the initial installation after
   updating the plugin gave me the dreaded White Screen of Death.
 * After looking at the class.input.php file, the function located near line 560
   is:
    (lines 557 – 573)
 *  $source = strtr($source, $ttr);
 *  // Convert decimal
    $source = preg_replace_callback(‘/&#(\d+);/m’, function(
   $m) { return utf8_encode(chr($m[1])); }, $source );
 *  // Convert hex
    $source = preg_replace_callback(‘/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mi’, function(
   $m) { return utf8_encode(chr(‘0x’ . $m[1])); }, $source );
 *  return $source;
 * Please advise, since I’d really like to keep using this plugin.
 * Judith

 * Hi
    please test with a new slideshow >> load the demo data tell me if it works.
   By my side on a new install I don’t have this issue

 * I think that I know the problem after looking at the line 560 of the file
    Please
   check your PHP version, you may have a too old version. Which one do you have?
