 * Hi AIT pro.
 * I installed BPS correctly.
    Then, I created magic bouttons both: default and 
   secure.
 * 1) I activate Website wp-admin Folder in bullet proof mode. installed OK! I refresh
   browser and YES it works.
    2) Then I activate Website Root Folder in bullet proof
   mode. BPS says it is all ok. I refresh browser and it is NOT working. I have 
   this terrific message: **Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /
   homezXXX/chXXXo/eolienne-pour-particuliers.fr/wp-includes/option.php on line 
   225**
 * When I refresh WP admin I have kind of same message.
 * I spent few hours trying to solve this and looking for post but I cannot find
   any help.
 * Please could you show me the light on that one…?

 * This type of error usually indicates that you have a coding mistake. The code
   line that is indicated is 225 in a the wp-includes/option.php file, which is 
   a WP Core file. But the real problem is that most likely you have a using an 
   older version of PHP on your Server/website. BPS requires PHP5. You may need 
   to either change this in your web host control panel or by using a PHP handler
   in your root .htaccess file.

 * To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things:
    PHP version 5.2.4 
   or greater MySQL version 5.0 or greater

 * Thanks for your quick answer!
 * PROBLEM SOLVED !!
 * I just add this line :
 * **SetEnv PHP_VER 5**
 * at the end of secure.htaccess file
 * For information my hosting is OVH mutualisé PRO.
