Fatal error installing 1.2.15

[JustDerek]

I got the following error, which prevents WP from activating Floatbox Plus 1.2.15:

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

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in .../wordpress/wp-content/plugins/floatbox-plus/floatbox-plus.php on line 704

D'oh! Rolling back to 1.2.14 for now...

does your php have the SimpleXML-extension installed or do you use php4?

could you please test the attached version? thx.

Argh, I should have known... my stupid-ass host's upgrade service to PHP5 doesn't work on my blog. I've spent hours going through it and waiting on hold, and they end up telling me it's my fault - something in my .htaccess is wrong or something, but I have no idea how to fix it.

I tried installing the version attached, and I got this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in .../wordpress/wp-content/plugins/floatbox-plus/floatbox-plus.php on line 51

i'm right, that you're still using php4?

could you please try to change line 43, from:

if (class_exists(SimpleXMLElement)) {

to:

if (FBP_PHP5 && class_exists(SimpleXMLElement)) {

Yes, you are right - I am still using PHP4. Sorry if I was not clear.

could you please try to change line 43, from:

if (class_exists(SimpleXMLElement)) {

to:

if (FBP_PHP5 && class_exists(SimpleXMLElement)) {

I tried it, and I got this error message:

if this doesn't work... than i may have to drop php4-support...
