Setup problem: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING line 136

After uploading all files to my webserver I went to

OXID/setup

and received following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /var/www/web1296/html/OXID/setup/oxsetup.php on line 136

I did not change any file and the folder right is set to 755

Why do I receive a pars error?

Think, you don’t use > PHP5.2
