Required php version for 2.4.8.1 is >=5.3 because of anonymous functions in CrossRefExportPlugin.inc.php

This is a known bug. See:

Cannot update the database using PHP 5.2

I’m upgrading from OJS 2.4.8 to OJS 2.4.8.1. I ran the patch command via command line but when I run the upgrade command I get the following error: [root@bib]# php tools/upgrade.php upgrade Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/ojs/plugins/importexport/crossref/CrossRefExportPlugin.inc.php on line 210 The machine is Centos 5.11 and runs PHP 5.2.17. The error is seemingly related to PHP 5.2 not interpreting a PHP 5.3 (and above) command. I guess this because the problem…

A fix is available:

remove PHP 5.3 code from OJS 2.4.8-1
