Title: Presentation function.php error… Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Presentation function.php error… * [tmshrider](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmshrider/) * (@tmshrider) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/presentation-functionphp-error/) * I just did a fresh install of wordpress 1.3 nightly from 12/9 and I am getting the following error when I go to the presentation pages under site admin: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/studiogeek/public_html/ wp-includes/functions.php on line 1775 I haven’t actually done anything in the way of themeing yet, this is a completely fresh install. The only file I changed with the wp-config.php to do the install. Any help?

I’m running PHP 5.0.3 RC2-dev, my host is running PHP 4.1.2… So can anyone tell me at this point if this is a PHP problem or a WordPress problem. I don’t want to ask my host to upgrade without a little background information.

The current dir() function returns an object which has a read() method. If I remember correctly in older versions of PHP the dir() function did something different.
