Breadcrumb NavXT Line 53 Error

If you are receiving an error similar to the following while activating Breadcrumb NavXT, please continue reading.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /wp-content/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/breadcrumb_navxt_admin.php on line 53

This should be only caused by PHP4. The line of code PHP is failing on is protected $version = '3.5.1';. Specifically, it is the protected part that PHP4 does not know about, and subsequently chokes on. Some users have claimed to receive this in a PHP5 environment. If you receive this error, please insert

<?php
if (current_user_can('administrator')){
    phpinfo();
}
?>

somewhere in your footer. Then, open up a page on your site and look in the output from phpinfo for your PHP version. If the version is not PHP5.2 or newer, please inquire with your webhost on how to migrate to a modern PHP installation. If the output states you have a version of PHP that is 5.2 or newer, please copy the output and e-mail it to me (full output). Feel free to provide an abridged output in the comments section of this page.
