Hi, I just upgraded (No mods or Plugins) to 1.4.12 and I have this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /inc/functions.php on line 5605

The problem is on
		// Then try the Microsoft method
		if(class_exists('COM'))
		{
			try {
				$util = new COM('CAPICOM.Utilities.1');
				$output = base64_decode($util->GetRandom($count, 0));
			}
			catch(Exception $ex) { }
		}

I added // before code and I solved it but it's normal?
It's random. Big Grin Toungue
i have same problem. i editted the file and deleted the part above.
what is this problem about?
I do not believe, I have the same error also when i make a new installation Sad

The version of PHP is 4.4.9
try ... catch is PHP5
You'll need to be on PHP 5 for MyBB 1.6, no reason to still be on PHP 4 really.
MyBB went overboard with their random number generation...

Unfortunately is not my choice.
I read that one of the requirements for MyBB 1.4.xx is PHP 4.3.11 or above with XML Extension installed !
http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/Requirements

When it is released 1.6 will change the hosting.
If you don't have the choice to use PHP 5 on your host then I would consider switching hosts. MyBB does not support below PHP 5 from 1.6 and in any new code as of the announcement regarding this some time ago. The reason why the wiki states 4.3.11 is because at the time of writing no PHP 5+ changes had been made.

Perfect, very clear.
So stay away from altervista that using php 4 for free hosting.
