Method chaining is not available in php 4.

It is available in PHP 5.x

Thats why $debug = JFactory::getConfig()->getValue('config.debug'); is working in PHP 5.x but not in PHP 4.x

This may help you.

Once I close the method and class statements, I don't receive any parse error with PHP 5.3.3. Which version of PHP are you using? And what version of the Joomla installation?
