I got this error message on my site after upgrading to the latest release of nodequeue.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /users/web/maba/web/sites/all/modules/nodequeue/smartqueue.module on line 107

I understand this is due to my site using php4 instead of php5 but my host doesn't use php5 so is there a workaround for this?
