According smarty documentation:
https://www.smarty.net/docs/en/installation.tpl

Smarty requires a web server running PHP 5.2 or greater.

But you are using code constructions that is not compatible with PHP 5.2

CODE TO REPRODUCE:

index.php
Code:
<?php

require_once('smarty/Smarty.class.php');

class MyClass {

  static function MyTag($params, $content, &$smarty, &$repeat) {
    return $content;
  }

  function __construct() {

    $smarty = new Smarty($this);

    $smarty->template_dir = 'templates/';
    $smarty->compile_dir = 'compiles/';

    $smarty->registerPlugin('block', 'mytag', array(__CLASS__, 'MyTag'));

    $smarty->display('my.html');

  }

}

new MyClass();

?>


templates/my.html
Code:
{mytag}Hello World!{/mytag}


The code above works fine in latest versions of PHP.
But it doesn't work in PHP 5.2 (tested in PHP 5.2.17).

It fails because in compiled templates you are using code generations similar to this:

$MyClass = 'MyClass';
echo $MyClass::MyTag();

that is not supported by PHP 5.2

Reference the class using a variable was added in PHP 5.3:

PLEASE FIX IT!

PHP below 7.1 is unsupported.
Even 7.1 is in security support only.
