PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'finally' (T_FINALLY), expecting identifier (T_STRING) in /var/www/autotrader-miner/application/core/model.class.php on line 739

I just solved this now, it's basically because finally is a function introduced in php 5.5, if you change all the references in that file from finally to finally2 then that fixes it. However this plugin no longer seems to work anyway as the requests all fail :/

The issue with this project as with all screen scrapers is that it has to get updated every time the target site changes their layout, otherwise it fails. I've tended to use Motors.co.uk recently as they have a lot of the search options which made me write this tool already.

I will get another update out in the coming months however.

Current build should be working BTW
