    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/40/d212653608/htdocs/TERRANOVO/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/gravityforms.php on line 41

    Hello Mark,

    This error typically happens because of a PHP version conflict.

    Gravity Forms requires PHP5+ and judging from this error you are probably trying to activate the plugin on a site running PHP4.

    Can you verify which version of PHP is running on your web host?

    Thanks for the clue.

    need to create a file called .htaccess in my root directory.

    added the following.

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
