Problem on Static

[AlenmKing]

Hi
I want to user idiorm on PHP Server version 5.2.17 and i just got this error. what do you think?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC in /home/emitsite/public_html/lib/idiorm.php on line 1420

Yes. It is using a feature of PHP 5.3 on that line. I must have missed that. For now you can replace line 1420 with:

return self::value($subject)->replace_outside_quotes($search, $replace);

Also it is worth noting that as of version 1.4.0 Idiorm and Paris will no longer maintain PHP 5.2 compatibility. This is for two reasons:

• PHP 5.2 is no longer supported by the PHP project - its end of life was over 2 years ago (see http://www.php.net/archive/2010.php#id2010-07-22-1 and http://www.php.net/eol.php)
• It has hamstrung the progress of the project as useful language features such as namespaces, late static bindings and closures cannot be used.

It is for these reasons that 1.3.0 will be the last release you will be able to run on your current PHP version.

Please consider upgrading if it is at all possible.

Thanks for your attention.
And about the upgrade you are right, But my app is running on a shared host that use PHP 5.2.17.
Many of hosts around the world use PHP 5.2 as their main scripting language.
