If you look at the documentation for PHP's array_merge() function, you'll see there is an incompatibility between the PHP 4 and PHP 5 implementation:

The behavior of array_merge() was modified in PHP 5. Unlike PHP 4, array_merge() now only accepts parameters of type array. However, you can use typecasting to merge other types. See the example below for details.

I am totally lost! i got no idea wot so ever!

I apologise for my less than helpful response - I was on my way out without much time.

Basically, the program you are trying to install was written for PHP 4 and you are trying to install it on a server which runs PHP 5. You may be able to correct the code your self by finding the line causing the error and casting the arguments to arrays:

array_merge((array) $var1, (array) $var2); 

However, I would recommend you find out if there is a version of IPB written for PHP 5 because there are some major differences between PHP 4 & 5 which may break the code.

sorry about that.

what im trying to do is install a forum. Invision Power Board 2.03.
ive uploaded all the files to: e2uhosting.com on my account under a directory called /forum/. the problem is that i probly have to install mysql and php- which i have no idea about~!

Requirements 
The exact requirements will depend on many factors, your estimated board traffic being one. 

Server Requirements 
You must have a webserver that has PHP 4.1.0 (or better) and mySQL 3.23 (or better) installed. If you are unsure whether your server has these programs installed, please check with your web host now. If you are capable, you can always download PHP and download mySQL and install it yourself. If your web host does not support PHP or mySQL, consider hosting your entire web site or forums with IPS Hosting services. 
Invision Power Board works best on an Apache server, and is Apache 1 and Apache 2 savvy. 

General Requirements 
You do not need a new SQL database as Invision Power Board supports table prefixes to prevent tables being overwritten. 
You will also need the SQL username and SQL password for a SQL user that has permission to "CREATE", "DROP" and "ALTER" tables. 
You will need about 2mb of free web space and roughly 3mb of SQL database space to allow installation and a moderate sized community. 
If you are unsure on any of these points, please ask your webhost before proceeding.

that is the requirements..any help appreciated! thanx

Your web host needs to support PHP 4 as this is one of the requirements for IPB. I doubt they will let you install PHP 4 unless you have SSH access to your account and the right to change the server configuration.

Contact your host and ask if they support PHP 4 too.

P/s: can you check your priavte messages. I've just sent you one. :wavE:
