    I have wordpress 3.0 and I purchsed the gravity forms plug in today... it wouldnt install from the wordpress form, so I installed it manually in the proper plugins folder in my ftp, and then it showed up in my plug ins directory on wordpress, and when I try to activate it i get a "fatal error" message

    (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/8/d184631659/htdocs/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/gravityforms.php on line 46)

    I erased it off my ftp all together and re downloaded it from the link i received in my email when I purchased it, and again, same thing.

    It's your PHP version.. you're still using PHP4. Make sure your hosting environment is set to PHP5. You can usually enable this in your hosting panel, but you man need to contact your webhost for instructions on how to change it. That should get you rolling.
