Description
If you get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ARRAY, expecting '&' or T_VARIABLE or T_CONST in /home/mydomain/public_html/drupal/sites/all/modules/imageapi/imageapi.module on line 161
The problem is on your PHP version. Imageapi needs PHP 5!

Thanks for this! Cheers mate :)

that's the one:)

EDIT: Never mind, I'm dumb. I forgot the stupid web host our client is using requires special crap in the .htaccess in order to use PHP 5.

Re-closing, since I can't do it when I edit my previous comment.

I just moved my local site to the server. I use Dreamhost and they use php5 exclusively. I am getting the same error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ARRAY, expecting '&' or T_VARIABLE or T_CONST in /home/wildlettuce/wildlettucedesign.com/sites/all/modules/imageapi/imageapi.module on line 161
Dreamhost does not offer support for php script so I am hoping someone here can help me.
Dreamhost servers run PHP in CGI mode.
Maybe I need "special crap in the .htaccess"?
Do I need a php.ini file? If so, I have no idea how to go about that either.
Am I just out of luck?
I need to have my site up by noon today... if possible. Please HELP!

wildlettuce: Try running a phpinfo() script to see if you're really running PHP 5.

Thank you so much. I did not know of this phpinfo() script, I was using the web panel of my host which stated clearly that php5 was what was used exclusivly. I ran the script and low and behold - 4.4.9!
I am going to work this out with my hosting. Thank you again for responding so quickly.

I am running PHP Version 5.2.9 and still get this error.
