    I have the latest 1.4.5 version and am trying to activate the plugin but I get the following error:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/content/m/6/j/m6johnson/html/npc/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/gravityforms.php on line 59

    This is on a new wordpress install

    This error typically happens because of a PHP version conflict.

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

    Gravity Forms requires PHP5+ and judging from this error you are probably trying to activate the plugin on a site running PHP4. Check with your web host and make sure you have PHP5 enabled.
