Default Upgrade Failure

Hi, I am trying to update my 4.2.2 installation to 4.2.4 and am getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /home/nwind/public_html/jouster.com/forums/includes/functions_misc.php on line 759

I could sure use some help as we are constantly being hacked and I am hoping that the update will enhance security.

Upgrade your PHP version to at least 5.5.

Also if you're constantly being hacked then an upgrade may not necessarily fix that, it's entirely possible that the hacker uploaded a backdoor on your server in order to gain access anytime the hacker desires.

I think you put your finger on the problem. I am on a shared hosting server which has version 5.4.45. I can upgrade php to 5.5 or 5.6 guessing that 5.6 would be the way to go. If I upgrade, will it screw up my functioning forums or is it safe to make a live change? Are there any precautions I need to take? I am on a shared hosting plan and the change is as easy as changing the active version.

Upgrading PHP should not affect your forum in a negative way as long as the vBulletin version supports the PHP version you're going to use.

Mission accomplished with the php, many thanks! I'll try the upgrade again.
