I have the same problem after upgrading wp core from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2. This message come when upgrading outdated plugin automatically from ../wp-admin/plugins.php page
Error message :
1 :
Downloading update from http://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/wp-useronline.2.61.zip.
Unpacking the update.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/…path_to_my_wordpress…/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 5124
2:
Downloading update from http://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/download-manager.zip.
Unpacking the update.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/…path_to_my_wordpress…/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 5124
I have tried to reproduce the error in a 2.9.2 installation and have been unable to replicate it.
Is it possible that not ALL the files from the WP installation transferred?
Best way to troubleshoot this one would be to delete the plugin. If everything works then its the plugin, if not then the problem lies elsewhere.
I’ll monitor this thread for any developments.
Thanks John for emailing me.
You are correct. After seeing your post I decided to try it directly on the website and it worked fine, however for some inexplicable reason it will not work offline under the localhost.
As far as I am concerned this has been resolved because I really only needed it to work on the website and I can put up with it not working offline.
