 * I was trying to move my wordpress site to a new domain and server. everything
   went wrong. Tried to fix it went worse. Now my base site doesn’t work. Saying:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in D:\www\territorium.
   eu\www\wp-includes\functions.php on line 2175
 * this is what’s there:
 *     ```
       $uploads = apply_filters( 'upload_dir', array( 'path' => $dir, 'url' => $url, 'subdir' => $subdir, 'basedir' => $bdir, 'baseurl' => $burl, 'error' => false ) );
   
       	// Make sure we have an uploads dir
       	if ( ! wp_mkdir_p( $uploads['path'] ) ) {
       		$message = sprintf( __( 'Unable to create directory %s. Is its parent directory writable by the server?' ), $uploads['path'] );
       		return array( 'error' => $message );
       	}
   
       	return $uploads;
       }
       ```

 * I wouldn’t touch that file as it is part of the WordPress core.
    I would go through
   the installation again and review the steps outlined in the codex.
