Now I want to add a forums using mybb, I already download mybb_1604 and upload everything under http://www.nguyendinhbon.com/diendan. But when I run install by going to http://www.nguyendinhbon.com/diendan/install/index.php then It gave me the error message as below:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/content/r/o/o/rookie/html/diendan/inc/class_core.php on line 18"

Thanks, but how can I fix it? I am using godaddy.com and I have a friend who use the same godaddy.com but he can install MyBB okay. Please help.
can you check the php version

you may add below code to a file (phpver.php) , upload & view on browser to check

<?php
echo phpversion();
?>

Thanks, It say "4.4.9"
I believe you can change which PHP version you use in your GoDaddy control panel.
I think we have 2 reasons of this problem

  1. PHP version to old
  2. Your friend use another (maybe more expensive) hosting plan on godaddy.com
Ask your friend, what's his php version?

Thanks a lots for your help. I already changed PHP version to 5.2 by using GoDaddy control panel.

Again, thanks everyone for your help.

THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED Smile
