I have been developing in php4. recently I began upgrading my code to php5. However in phpEd 5.2 I have changed all settings under "settings" that I could find to php5 and yet when I declare a function static (i.e. static function() { //some code here } ) , phpEd highlights the "static" keyword as an error. What am I doing wrong?

When you hover the mouse over the squiggly red line what is the error?

parse error, expecting 'T4_OLD_FUNCTION' or 'T_FUNCTION' or 'T_VAR' or "}" Unexpected 'static'
