Thanks for getting back to me woodent. Problem solved though – there was a problem with the wordpress installation (it was also causing issues with other plugins) so I done a fresh install and all is now operating as it should.
I am having the same problem. Now I have enabled PHP5 it will still not let me activate the plugin and yields pretty much the same error message as above
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/134712/webspace/siteapps/20233/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/promotion-slider/index.php on line 35
