A class of functional boundary conditions for the second order functional differential equation $x''(t)=(Fx)(t)$ is introduced. Here $F:C^1(J) \rightarrow L_1(J)$ is a nonlinear continuous unbounded operator. Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least four solutions are given. The proofs are based on the Bihari lemma, the topological method of homotopy, the Leray-Schauder degree and the Borsuk theorem.
