syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC – when reinstalling Metaverse ID

What version of PHP are you running ?

5.2.17. Too old?

I’m going to go with yes; “As of PHP 5.3.0, PHP implements a feature called late static bindings which can be used to reference the called class in a context of static inheritance.“

Various bits of Metaverse ID use late-static binding, thus I should really get around to being more specific in the install requirements ??

Oh all right, Marv ?? . Perhaps for the next version of Metaverse ID you can add a warning somewhere that it only works with PHP 5.3.X. (or even check for the PHP version when activating the plugin).

In the mean time, I hope to get my blog back to a server which has 5.3.X installed and this problem will disappear ??

Thanks for the time in figuring it out…
