Help installing Virtuemart - Parse / syntax error

[Ryan Williams]

I am trying to install the extrated virtuemart component to my joomla site. I am encountering the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/wilmac/public_html/sinsationessentials.com/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/updatesmigration.php on line 303

Can anyone help me in getting this fixed please.

Ryan.

You are using PHP 5.2 (or earlier) on your server instead of the recommended requirement for Joomla 2.5 version of PHP5.3+

VirtueMart 2.0.22a has been made to be compatible with that older PHP version, so try installing that.
