 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to install WordPress, but when I navigate to wp-admin/install.php 
   I’m getting this error message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/matthew/public_html/wp-
   admin/includes/plugin.php on line 540
 * I thought it might be a corrupted file, so I downloaded a second copy of WP and
   uploaded that version, but I’m still getting the same message.
 * If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
 * Here’s the code… Line 540 is the closing curly brackets:
 * function _wp_call_all_hook($args) {
    global $wp_filter;
 *  reset( $wp_filter[‘all’] );
    do { foreach( (array) current($wp_filter[‘all’])
   as $the_ ) if ( !is_null($the_[‘function’]) ) call_user_func_array($the_[‘function’],
   $args);
 *  } while ( next($wp_filter[‘all’]) !== false );
    }

 * Strangely enough, I just checked the install again, and it fixed itself.
