[SOLVED]Installation - "Parse error" on attempt to begin

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /hsphere/local/home/portvend/med-and-mountain.com/CMSmadesimple/index.php on line 85

I have uploaded CMS 1.9.2 to my host (using FTP and uncompressing on the host site).

Attempting to run the "index.php" file fails with "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /hsphere/local/home/portvend/med-and-mountain.com/CMSmadesimple/index.php on line 85"

A similar problem occurs when I try to run the "pathname/install/index.php"

Any ideas?

After a lot of checking I find thet IX Web Hosting, my server host, has been hosting my sites on PHP 5.1.2, not 5.2.x.

Could this be the problem?

I have found references on the internet which suggest that the version of PHP is definitely causing the problem; see

I have notified my host and I will be moved to a server supporting PHP 5.2.14
