What PHP version are you using? 5.3 or 5.4? AFAIK THT hasn't been tested on a 5.4 setup yet.

PHP is now primarily tested on 5.3 but I'm pretty certain it'll work just fine on 5.2 too. 5.4 brought about some code-breaking changes.

To fix this specific issue you can replace

PHP Code:

preg_match_all('/(<(?:a|img) (?:href|src)=(?:"|\'))([-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])((?:"|\')[a-z0-9]*[^<>]*\/?>)/si', $item['summary'], &$matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); 


with

PHP Code:

preg_match_all('/(<(?:a|img) (?:href|src)=(?:"|\'))([-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])((?:"|\')[a-z0-9]*[^<>]*\/?>)/si', $item['summary'], $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
