 * Hi,
 * I just downloaded the updated theme and was told to download this plugin. When
   I went to go activate my plugin, it gave me the below error:
 * > Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
   >  Parse error:
   > syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in E:\inetpub\fcpsblogs\wp\wordpress\wp-
   > content\plugins\reiki-companion\reiki-companion.php on line 88
 * Any ideas on what may be going on?

 * Hi,
 * Can you give more details about the server configuration you are using? I think
   you have this issue because your php version is less than 5.3.

 * You may be right. I’m running 5.2. Do you know of any online tutorials that help
   update php in IIS? I have tried to update but I just can’t seem to get it right.

 * Hi,
 * Try this tutorial:
 * [Configure a PHP Website on IIS](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh994592(v=ws.11).aspx#Anchor_1)
 * Install the “Microsoft Web Platform Installer” and inside choose to add PHP 5.6.
