# Ouch, PHP >= 5.4?

 * Use of ‘trait’ requires PHP 5.4. My server is running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS which
   doesn’t reach end-of-life until April 2015 during which time PHP 5.3 will continue
   to be supported. I see your description has been updated to specify PHP 5.4. 
   It’ll be interesting to see how many others are still running 5.3. This is a 
   little kick in the butt for me to upgrade my server to 5.4. But it’s not part
   of the mainstream Ubuntu repositories for 10.04.4 so I’ll have to go to alternate
   sources.
 * Exact error on server:
    [19-Jun-2013 13:29:29] PHP Parse error: syntax error,
   unexpected T_STRING in /srv/www/humor_sites/wordpress-3.5.1/wp-content/plugins/
   threewp-broadcast/plainview_sdk/db_aware_object.php on line 37
 * Thanks for the great plugin!

 * Same issue here. Don’t have the option to upgrade PHP on the shared server I’m
   on, so this effectively blocks upgrades for me.

 * Will be a version check in the next version, though I can’t guarantee that old
   PHP will like it. Better than nothing, though.

 * Same issue here with being stuck at version 5.3, so i can’t wait for the next
   update 🙂
