12167	Syntax Error in PHP4	blepoxp	westi	"Steps to reproduce:[[BR]]
1) Load WordPress trunk (r. 13013) in PHP4[[BR]]
2) Observe following error on screen:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wptrunk/wp-includes/theme.php on line 714

It appears that the arrow is causing the problem

{{{
$author = get_user_by( 'id', $author_id )->user_nicename;
}}}

I fixed by doing the following:

{{{
$author = get_user_by( 'id', $author_id );
$author = $author->user_nicename;
}}}
