Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION when updated wordpress [duplicate]

Question

I'm getting this error after I manually updated my wordpress install:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION

This is the code causing the error:

function paginate_links($args = ''){
$defaults = array(
    'base' => '%_%', // http://example.com/all_posts.php%_% : %_% is replaced by format (below)
    'format' => '?page=%#%', // ?page=%#% : %#% is replaced by the page number
    'total' => 1,
    'current' => 0,
    'show_all' => false,
    'prev_next' => true,
    'prev_text' => __('&laquo; Previous'),
    'next_text' => __('Next &raquo;'),
    'end_size' => 1,
    'mid_size' => 2,
    'type' => 'plain',
    'add_args' => false, // array of query args to add
    'add_fragment' => '');
}

Can anyone help?

Which line is the error in?

what so you mean by manually? you didn't use the build in updater? if not did you run the update scripts?

wp-admin/update.php
wp-admin/upgrade.php
wp-admin/update-core.php

do one by one and see if it's fixed in between.

Thank you for the reply! I tried them but it still gives me an error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in D:\inetpub\vhosts\profitablehospitality.com\httpdocs\News\wp-includes\general-template.php on line 508 I didn't use the automatic update because it didn't work. So I just manually updated it by uploading the files.

I followed the instructions. I deleted the wp-include and wp-admin folders. I uploaded the new wp-include and wp-admin folders to my server. I Uploaded the individual files from the new wp-content folder to your existing wp-content folder, overwriting existing files. I Uploaded all new loose files from the root directory of the new version to your existing wordpress root directory. And when I tried to go to my admin page, that error showed up

I asume you followed this: codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update? it states: Take a Backup A lesson you will never forget ;). Do take a look here: codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended
