Hi everybody,  
  
  
  
I’m new user of Mautic and i meet issue when i want add Cons Job via putty.  
  
I use Web hosting 1&1 (not server)  
  
PHP 7.0 web version  
  
Putty and php 4.49  
  
  
  
So, when i run php path/to/my/mautic/app/console mautic:segments:update i have this error message  
  
  
  
**Parse error** : syntax error, unexpected T\_STRING, expecting T\_CONSTANT\_ENCAPSED\_STRING or ‘(’ in **/homepages/path/to/my/mautic/app/console** on line **22**  
  
  
  
  
I think the raison are the version php commande line is older than mautic requirement.  
  
  
  
How can fix this issue?  
  
  
  
Thank you in advance for your help.  
  
  
  
Sincerly,  
  
  
  
Christelle
