    Hi all,

    I’m trying to install the WP, but I always get this error message:

    Parse error : syntax error, unexpected ‘.’, expecting ‘&’ or variable (T_VARIABLE) in **/chroot/home/** */***/html/wpcont/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1090

    What can I do to resolve this?

    Thanks a lot in advance

    The error is referring to the ... token that indicates variable-length argument lists. This feature was added in PHP 5.6, which is the minimum version required to run WordPress.
    So, you need to update your PHP version to a more recent version, like 7.4. Version 8 is still too new and many plugins might have issues with it. But 5.6 is very old and what you have is even older.

    I see, thank you. I’ll contact with the webhost service.
