Cron is running, but order confirmation messages aren't being sent

[jeeveser]

I'm using Scheduler, Magento 1.9

Cron is set up and working... however my order confirmation emails are stuck in core_email_queue.

I'm getting this message:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home3/ourdail7/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Helper/Abstract.php on line 240

This is my cron command:

wget -O /dev/null -q https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/cron.php> /dev/null

I've also tried

curl -s -o /dev/null http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/cron.php. /dev/null

I don't know why my order confirmation emails aren't being sent. Can anyone help me?

Can you show me the lines around 240 of /home3/ourdail7/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Helper/Abstract.php
