Gravity Forms requires PHP 5 and you are trying to activate it on a site running PHP 4. You need to activate PHP 5 on your web host. This is usually done via a control panel option but you will need to check with your host for specifics on how to do this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/install-fail#post-10426 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 12:30:23 +0000 cparks 10426@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>After uploading Gravity Forms we lost the entire site and had to get our web host to delete Gravity Forms from their end. After the Gravity Forms files were deleted the site came back online. The error message we got on our second attempt was:</p> <p>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/harris11/public_html/www/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/gravityforms.php on line 59</p> <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated. </p> <p><a href="http://www.harrisonbands.org/www" rel="nofollow">http://www.harrisonbands.org/www</a> </p>
