I've seen this error come up on several popular scripts like:

Vbulletin
PHPBB
Wordpress
Drupal
SolidState

the only real solution for this is to downgrade your php.

if you want to know what version you have type this command:

Code:

php -v

I have two servers, one one server, i get this error, but on the other server i don't.

here is the server where i do get the error: (PHP Version 5.0.5)

Code:

[root@host1 web]# php -v
PHP 5.0.5 (cli) (built: Apr 26 2006 09:47:41)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.0.5, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies

Here is my php version on ther server i DON'T get the error (PHP Version 5.1.4 with Zend Optimizer)

Code:

[root@host2 ~]# php -v
PHP 5.1.4 (cli) (built: May 8 2006 08:41:41)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
with Zend Extension Manager v1.0.10, Copyright (c) 2003-2006, by Zend Technologies
with Zend Optimizer v3.0.1, Copyright (c) 1998-2006, by Zend Technologies

So to fix your problem, install PHP Version 5.1.4 by either upgrading or downgrading. Hope this helps...
