Hi!

This error happens for some people. The problem is that there in fact are two different PHP versions: One for the webserver and one for the shell. While the webserver uses PHP 5.3, you have another PHP version on the shell. You can verify that with the command php -v, which on the shell will display you version 4.4.8. Check, if you can execute a newer PHP version on the shell by using a different command: That might be php5 or php53. If another version is available and if so under which name depends on your setup. If it does not work, ask your hoster; he will surely know. :-)
