Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on namespace string [duplicate]

Question

Error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in ...Ping.php on line 3

In code:

<?php

namespace JJG; // line 3

class Ping {

  private $host;
  private $ttl;
//...
}

I expect the class will work fine, as provided https://github.com/geerlingguy/Ping

But the actual output is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in ...Ping.php on line 3

You seem to have removed the file header comment from the Ping.php file (the namespace JJG; should be line 24). What else have you changed? — Some programmer dude

OK, I take it.

On this server PHP Version can be only 5.2.5, and seems like there is no full support of namespaces in it yet.

The namespaces where introduced in PHP 5.3. Which is dead and buried since years ago. Upgrade to PHP 7.2 or newer. The older versions are not maintained any more.
