ERROR when trying to access site

I've tried several times to load the writer 2.5 template and this is what I receive:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC in /home4/agentque/public_html/Websites/hopetownroad.wdmagent.com/modules/mod_news_pro_gk5/tmpl/view.php on line 22

I can delete, uninstall or unpublish the mod, which in turn loads the site. This module is important for the site that i'm building for the client and need some type of resolution, anyone have any ideas on what the issue is? How to fix it?

Thanks!

Hello,

Please enable at least PHP 5.3 on your server. It is necessary for this module for the proper work.

thanks for the quick reply - my current version is 5.4.38 - so I'm not sure what the issue is ..

Are you sure that you are using the mentioned php version? Because late static binding which uses "static::" is available since php 5.3.0: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5. ... ndings.php
