Unexpected T function error in wordpress code

Question

Hi I keep getting an Unexpected T_function error on the last line when i run the below code on a webserver running php 5.2, this runs fine on my local machine running php 5.3.6

 // ***** Declare function that buids the post type
 function add_post_type($name, $args = array() ) {
    add_action('init',function() use($name, $args) {

can somebody help me spot whats wrong?

Fixed it, apparently this is a mirror of another question. apologies. — George Ananda Eman

Anonymous functions aren't available until PHP 5.3. See the changelog.

The piece of code:

function() use($name, $args) { ..

it's an anonymous function (or closure). Anonymous functions are avaiable since PHP 5.3.0

PHP 5.2 doesn't support anonymous functions
